Lillies and the Royals

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Potentially could be the best match in the quarter finals. A clash of different styles and that old border rivalry.McGeeneys men on a role and Meath having a big point to prove after the Leinster final fiasco.

Yeah it could be a great match alright.
Both teams tend to start slow but then come good.
Decent forwards on display for both teams aswell.

Hopefully a Meath win, but it certainly wont be easy.

This is a big one and there's going to be huge in interest in Kildare and Meath. Better effin not be on the Bank Holiday Monday. Kildare with a fully fit team should have too much firepower and momentum and will win by at least 3 and will represent the province of Leinster in the All-Ireland Semi.

I think if Kildare keep the wide count down they will be hard to stop in this one. If you take the goals against the Dubs out of it Meath are not scoring points as freely as Kildare and could struggle if the Kildare backs keep a clean sheet

hopefully will be a good game. kavanagh is their best forward but we have the forwards to outscore them

It won't end 15 a side that's for sure and there's going to be some slagging among the two sets of supporters. 6th game on the trot will be tough on the Lillies, and Meath will be favourites. Credit to the boys for getting here though.

Kildare and Meath are both expieriencing a revival of sorts but i just feel as though Early and Flynn will dominate and the Kildare forwards should win it for Kildare!

Yeah not a bad draw for us .Kildare are on a good run but we're well capable of beating them.

With the momentum built up over the last few weeks , I think Kildare might just shade this one. Midfield may well be the key.

it's a toss of a two headed coin, for the winner.This is going to be one hell of a game.

two teams that were beaten by Louth - probably a fair match up alright...

Kildare have built up momentum and they should just edge it but it has the potential to be a classic...

Hopefully Kildare can get their best team out, if they can they'll take some beating. The full back line has completely tightened up since the Louth game, Jimmers is is playing well JD will never miss as much again. Alan Smith has a full game behind him and is starting to look sharp. Dermot Early being fit will be key here. Kildare by 4

Most evenly matched 1/4 final. Meath by a point I'd say.

Honestly lads I would be very happy for either of these counties to do well , but in respect of football ability I could not forsee anything other than a Meath victory.

with any luck, kildare will win this with a highly disputed point that everyone in the ground will think has gone wide. Up goes the white flag and cue the calls from meath for a replay. Oh it would be great
