Replying To Afinestick96:  "The hurling is live on RTE 2"
I stand corrected!

To be honest, so rare for RTE to show a Leinster Championship group game that I didn't even check.

Anyway, makes it all the more likely that if there's to be a double-header, the football would have to go second. Either that, or start so early that there'd be time for extra time and penalties (if needed) before the hurling throw-in time of 4 p.m. The RTE broadcast schedule wouldn't be very flexible!

Replying To Walter_White:  "World beaters'? No one said that. Louth fans are reacting to being called overrated by counties who didn't even last as long in the championship. Louth aren't pretending to be world beaters - they're just a county on the rise. Three Leinster finals in four years isn't a fluke, and with the way the province looks now, they're absolutely strong contenders to win Leinster again. That's not hype, that's just where the results have put them. And talking about results outside Leinster doesn't change the fact that this year, on the pitch, Louth beat Wexford at ease. That's not hype - that's just the scoreboard. #PipeDown"
Overrated.

Any new on injuries or how things are shaping up.
I see the minors are playing Antrin in Westmeath at 2.30 the same day, which is a bit of a shame - Antrim are playing Carlow in the TC on Sunday in Carlow - would it not have made more sense to play the minor on Sunday.
I guess all these are fixed by different groups and coordination just doesn't happen

Hope Brooks is fit, he was a massive loss against Louth. Wm Gaule is a very good young keeper but we really struggled with the kick-out that day.
Hopefully everyone else is OK and we can get the job done.........we owe Limerick one !!

I've just seen the team ( as listed) for tomorrow, hopefully there will be changes before throw-in.
We know Jack Higgins & cian Hughes are already out, but Brooks, S Doyle or N Hughes not listed and Gav Sheehan & S Nolan on the bench ?

If Sheehan says the team is near full strength with Brooks, Sean Nolan, Nial Hughes and Sheehan himself out, how can that be near full strength???
Is this a dummy team and we can expect changes before throw in?
I honestly can't see the point of not naming the correct team.
They are fooling nobody.

Massive game, but remember its as important to have a strong team on the pitch at the end of the game, not just the beginning.

Paudie injured too ? Thats not good, it'll be a good test of the squad today, plenty of lads getting a chance to prove themselves.
