Looking forward to this now. Any ideas on starting 15 lads? bearindsquare (Meath) - Posts: 47 - 14/10/2020 16:29:01 2297594 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: " Replying To mightymhi: "Meath GAA tv streaming the minor game next Saturday against the Dubs for a fiver Seen that, fantastic and I can't wait to watch" The word from people in the know in the Dublin Minor setup is that this year they are just not blessed with a lot of good minors and that this years minors would be considered to be Dublin's weakest Minor team in quite a few years. So a great opportunity for Meath to get revenge on last years defeat. Come on the Royals. Meathball (Meath) - Posts: 140 - 16/10/2020 06:33:44 2297932 Link

I was told that they don't have any individual stand out players but have a strong squad with a great bond and that they expect to go very well! I suppose time will tell!!

Team named anyway. Anybody know anything about Sean Emmanuel haven't seen him play before? Disappointed not to see Furzey Blake after his performances club championship, possibly not worth the risk as has a short fuse? bearindsquare (Meath) - Posts: 47 - 16/10/2020 18:53:39 2298160 Link

Disappointed not to see Furzey Blake after his performances club championship, possibly not worth the risk as has a short fuse?" Hard to believe Fursey Blake not there considering the final he had . Hard to keep everyone happy though;some give out about a short fuse while also looking for aggression. Classy , clever player though. ABK67 (Meath) - Posts: 62 - 16/10/2020 20:20:33 2298187 Link

Replying To ABK67: "Hard to believe Fursey Blake not there considering the final he had . Hard to keep everyone happy though;some give out about a short fuse while also looking for aggression. Classy , clever player though." I didn't see team named but as for Sean Emmanuel even though he has another year at Minor is a fantastic prospect and would be expected to start at midfield with Conor Gray. In relation to the comments about Fursey Blake not even making the 24 who tog out tomorrow, that is a very big surprise especially as he is such a versatile and intelligent player and most people expected he would certainly be in a very good shout of making one of the back positions in the starting 15. It is a sign of the management must be very confident of beating the Dubs tomorrow that they don't even need to have Fursey on the bench, it is hard to believe (and great for Meath football if true) that the level of all of the 24 lads on the panel are above him and that the management don't have any need to even have a player of his calibre on the bench. I would disagree but I am not a selector. It shows that obviously the management believe the backs they are starting and the backs they have on the bench are better should they need to bring them on. Meath have 3 very good Backs in Liam Kelly(also a year younger), Sean O' Donohoe and Mark Caufield but the other 3 back positions not as strong and could be in trouble if Dublin are better than people seem to think. As a Dunshaughlin man I don't think it's a fair reflection to say our club player Fursey Blake has a short fuse, he never got a red card in his career and only ever got 1 black card a few years ago taking a foul for the team( I have checked with people in the know). I think someone who would normally be described as having a short fuse could often be detrimental to a team by getting sent off or doing something stupid, something Fursey could never be accused of, controlled intelligent aggression might be a better description. It's appears a strange one (not only to people in Dunshaughlin) but you have to hope and think the management know what they are about and feel confident the 24 players they are bringing tomorrow and the 15 they start will be the right ones to beat Dublin. It is great that we have 4 other players from Dunshaughlin who are well deserving to be on the 24 and I wish Conor, Ruairí, John and Aaron and all the Meath lads the best tomorrow and how the mood in the county would improve if we could only beat the Dubs. It would make the lockdown much more bearable. Come on lads make it happen. Meathball (Meath) - Posts: 140 - 17/10/2020 00:05:26 2298256 Link
Replying To Ashbounrehero83: "Where's the team named ?" It was on Leinster gaa, they put it up but deleted it. They had Eoghan Frayne down for 11 and 14. 1. Billy Hogan 2. Ben Moran 3. Liam Kelly 4. Ben Donnelly 5. Sean o Donoghue 6. Oisin Kelly 7. Ciaran Caulfield 8. Sean Emmanuel 9. Conor Gray 10. Shane Maguire 11. Eoghan Frayne. (Has club down for Dunshaughlin so probably Kinsella?) 12. Mark Coffey 13. Alan Bowden 14. Eoghan Frayne 15. Aaron Murphy bearindsquare (Meath) - Posts: 47 - 17/10/2020 09:10:04 2298277 Link
Well done to all concerned seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2141 - 17/10/2020 15:43:14 2298382 Link
Super win! Second half performance was excellent Frayne was the pick of the bunch but you'd have to wonder at the Dublin sideline allowing him so much space when he was causing so much problems Gray and Emmanuel dominated second half after an ok first 30 Kinsella was very busy but can't help thinking if himself and Freyne swapped they might get more Both wing forwards were really good Hard to judge our backs as the Dubs were so poor up front Looking good for a Leinster at least and you never know a welcome early Christmas present in Croker maybe ABK67 (Meath) - Posts: 62 - 17/10/2020 15:50:25 2298387 Link

The management are there for a long time and have marginal calls to make. Great win today and all done really well, club bias doesn't come into it when the county is involved. And regardless what 24 are named it takes 30 plus lads to make a successful team. Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 17/10/2020 15:54:52 2298393 Link

Looks like the minor championship is being stopped. Very disappointing for these young lads. Really hope the competition is continued as an under 18 competition next year (and wouldn't mind if it stayed there tbh) LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1456 - 21/10/2020 12:27:24 2299886 Link
Tough on Minors as Championship put on hold, hopefully it will resume in six weeks. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2141 - 21/10/2020 19:18:13 2300060 Link
