Replying To Meathfootball12:  "Now hold on a second, Southmeathgael, we had an outstanding championship last year, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Over the last 10 years, we have been very similar to those counties Cork and Kildare.

I am also hopeful, but Division Two will be very tough, as I would rank both Derry and Tyrone ahead of us as of today. We have a poor record against Louth in the last couple of years when the game truly mattered."
Not to mention we are the only county in Ireland who'll not have any home games. Bar the Monaghan game Pairc Tailteann was a fortress last season. While I think games in croke Park are really important for the development of our players, its not helpful to our league chances this year. If we finished anywhere from 3rd to 5th that's not a disaster.

Meath best Dublin, Galway and Kerry in the 2025 Champioship, AKA. The only team that beat Kerry.

Yes they did and fair play to them . I'm just saying if that was mayo who lost by 20 points in a semi we would get slagged to hell . Alot what I say on here is tongue in cheek haha. But Dubs are rebuilding , Galway are overated and Kerry were only in 2nd gear when Meath beat them to be fair to kerry .

I agree that playing in Croke Park will only benefit in the long run. In the past, I think, the league has been the main priority, with Division 1 being the goal, with the possibility of a Leinster title almost impossible due to Dublin.

This year, I think this is different, with our main goal/priority being to win a Leinster championship. I would and think most would agree with taking a leinster title over winning league 2

Any challenge match this weekend after last week's runout versus Mayo? Expect plenty of more lads to be tried out in games in advance of new year!

Draw, Donegal missing Murphy, Thompson and Gallen anyways,
Meath team was
Billy Hogan
Lavin Rafferty O'Halloran
Keoghan Coffey Caulfield
McBride Flynn
Duke Hickey Costello
Morris Curtis Lynch
A solid result without Frayne, Kinsella, Conor Gray, James Conlon, Ronan Ryan and plenty more

Strong linout with at least 10 likely to be regular starters in the new year. Heard there was another challenge against Wexford yesterday too so that was probably another at least 20 lads getting valuable minutes in the legs.
