Tough draw for the lads(providing they get a championship) but if the Gerry Reilly is anything to go by we've a great chance. Any word on how they're looking? bearindsquare (Meath) - Posts: 47 - 30/07/2020 21:11:06 2285900 Link 0 |
The Gerry Reilly is absolute no gauge no go bye. Load of hopeless sides in the Gerry Reilly the last few years. Last years Minor team won it and look what happened them. Meath have a very good side but DUBLIN have a better one

I can't comment on this year's Minor crop, but agree that there's little point using the Gerry Reilly as a gauge. Aside from our win in 2018, Dublin and Kildare have dominated the Leinster MFC in the last decade but I rarely hear of them winning the Gerry Reilly Cup.

Can see both of your point but I was very impressed with some of the performances in the final. Young Frayne looks a star for the future anyway. bearindsquare (Meath) - Posts: 47 - 31/07/2020 16:36:53 2285987 Link 0 |

Agree totally, the Gerry Reilly is no measure. It's a great competition and great for 14/15 year olds to play county football competetively, but they're gossins. They could be different people entirely by the time theyre adults; attaching prowess to lads that age is a big stretch. I also weigh-in with the personal view that the new minor (U17) is also not a good measure of success in the future. These are clean slate, untrained, and undeveloped schoolboys. The talent will always be there in a big county in Meath but these boys are miles and miles off being considered stars, in my own opinion, until they can compete and dominate the senior ranks at 20/21/22 when theyre still very young but playing against physically developed, weathered senior players. Lads like Clifford or our own McBride are the very rare exception. Young_gael (Meath) - Posts: 596 - 03/08/2020 20:32:54 2286250 Link 18 |
Gaa statement today announcing that they'll definitely be going ahead with minor championship aswell as seniors and 20s. Hopefully a big year for these young lads. bearindsquare (Meath) - Posts: 47 - 12/09/2020 15:03:27 2291694 Link 1 |
So what's the lowdown on the Meath-Dublin game. Who is favourite to win in Pairc Tailtean. Meathball (Meath) - Posts: 140 - 07/10/2020 22:36:06 2296335 Link 0 |
Meath have a very strong Dunshaughlin and Colmcilles but Dublin have 8 Very strong Division 1 teams. That is the gauge. This Dublin year group is strong where as they are not next year. Meath are good but I think Dublin have a whole plethora of top players to pick from. But ye never know. Dublin could be missing some key players with injury , Covid etc but then Meath are down McDonnell and Stafford too now as he is injured as well. So 2 of their forwards are gone. Dublin a very strong at this age group at club level and on that basis they would be favourites Talking_Sense (Meath) - Posts: 209 - 08/10/2020 00:05:43 2296341 Link 0 |
Would imagine Dublin are favourites, but would have to fancy our lads chances. Have heard good reports the last few weeks of wins against Monaghan and a highly rated Down side.

Have absolutely no idea on the two teams haha, we can only hope for the best. And the broken up training makes it even more of a toss up. Really really hope it'll be streamed and we can watch it

If the rumours around the county were true which I'm sure they were, there was no broken up training with the group training throughout lockdown bar a few weeks at the start.

Monaghan are awful. Especially up front and we madevery hard work beating them and in fact trailed for a lot of the game. Don't be listening to so called form. It's all on the day with Minor lads

Will Stafford not make it back? McDonnell should be back for later stages anyway shouldn't he?
