We left with our tails rightly between our legs after the all ireland final to a chorus of ole's from the Galway fans, and fair play to them... Was Meath beating Mayo in the AI QF's in 2009 considered a shock? Mayo had won a tough Connacht, beating the Rossies and Galway. Meath struggled through the qualifiers beating Waterford, WestMeath, Rossies and Limerick unconvincingly. They powered into Mayo in the last 20 and turned a deficit around scoring about 1-7/8 in that time. We did get very lucky with a decision in that game, ball hit a meath man and we got a sideline, was booted in before it could be noticed and we won a penalty which turned the game around. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1025 - 01/03/2021 12:03:18 2333153 Link 3 |

Down beating Meath in 1991 AI final would have been "unexpected" as such back then..I remember back then Down and Meath meeting in the championhsip was so novel, the backdoor for all its glamour and second chances and good runs by some minnows over the years has dulled the "novel" pairing really, and if Wexford are drawn to meet say Armagh, or Cork drew to play Wicklow, the games are 99% of the time played at 2pm of a Saturday, and most people working if they are lucky to work half day or so would only be tuning in around 3 or 4pm and then the result is glossed over...
