Replying To Blackspot09:  "You're last line is key here. For the lads who have an ambition to be a professional athlete we can't compete. We cannot offer anything. I have no doubt that EA would have had his pick of College scholarships from UCD DCU or any other top college in the country. What has Daire Cregg and what he chose to do got to do with Eamon Armstrong and his decision to pursue a career as a professional athlete ? Would we have the same situation in Dublin or other counties?? Well the answer is yes. Kerry have just lost a big talent to the AFL . James Madden from Dublin is coming home after 6 years over there and has possibly missed out on 1 or 2 All Ireland medals by going over there to play so for some it doesn't matter what county they are from and how good or bad that county is or what they can offer them in terms of scholarships or career paths. Nobody has done anything wrong here. Nobody has dropped the ball and Nobody is asleep at the wheel. The kid wants a career as a professional athlete so unless the Gaa can offer that which we all know they can't well then there was nothing anyone could do to keep him."
I'm absolutely devasted at this loss for the county but also delighted for the young lad himself, he'd be a fool not to! But please I don't get the obsession to let on its a level playing field and every county loses players... it's not! Armstrong was the best young meath footballer since Geraghty and IMO the best minor in the country since Clifford. Absolutely dominated games like a man playing against boys in the same way an 18 year old Conor Nash dominated a senior championship a few years back and left for the same sport. Convenient how you mention madden yet you could mention one of the only other dublin players like eh lets see Ciaran Kilkenny maybe.... how did he get on? He came back after a few months, would he have came back to Meath or Kildare or Louth Gaa? Ha! Would he hell. Nothing even about this sport any more unfortunately

Anyone thinking Robbie Brennan should be looking at the latter end of the various championships should seriously think again. Our Senior and Intermediate championships are so irrelevant to the rest of Leinster and are no guide at all as to what is required to be competitive nationwide. St Loman's beaten at home by Ardee shows how lowly our Senior Championship is. And as I write Caragh of Kildare have 'struggled' into extra time against Fethard of Wexford in the Intermediate Championship. Only Dunsany are able to win and win the hard way. So if Robbie loads his team from the latter stages of the Senior Championship we are doomed. Only way forward is to head for the highways and byways of the county into Junior, Intermediate land etc and seek out strong raw triers with a TOTAL will to win. Much as I hate to say it but everybody must put the 2024 SFC completely out of their minds, it was irrelevant to inter county football. Forget the "Fancy Dans" they are a waste of time. Remember a middling big fellow is always better than a middling small fellow.

Well done Dunsany. Through to a Leinster final after beating Kilcavan of Laois 1-14 to 1-10. They'll be home in Navan in the final against Ballinagar of Offaly in the final.
