Fair play to Monaghan! Brilliant comeback to win the game. Have to be the most stubborn and dogged team in the country.

Dublin steamrolling Louth. There was too much talk about a Louth v Meath Leinster final.

You are 100% correct Saynothing. Ulster is always so entertaining.

Fair play to Monaghan. I wasn't expecting that result to be honest. Said it was dangerous to write off Dublin. They've a home Round 1 game secured. If they avoid any slip ups they'll have home league ground advantage in the quarter finals as well.

It's a pity some of these Leinster 'football' counties can't motivate themselves against Dublin the same way they can against Meath

Dubs did the business today!
Louth were worthy champions 2025, so all credit to them.

Amazing how these out of the skin performances reserved for Meath from Louth/Kildare/Westmeath etc will disappear as soon as its Dublin they have to play.

Plenty of days Meath lay down against Dublin in Leinster the past few years. . .

Would it be too much to ask for RTÉ to put the score on the screen why they're showing highlights?

Goes to show CiarraiMick, when a team tackles as a team and go forward with the ball any team are dangerous.
