Well whats the view? Our bogey team, even when we at our best. It will be a tricky encounter but one I think we will get over. I have to say was highly impressed with the link play between Wallace and Reilly yesterday they seem to have a great understanding and will cause defences all sorts of nightmares.

So wexford you bring the strawberries, we will bring the champagne. :-)
Hon the royal.

Roualdunne, looking forward to this one. We've had a few close encounters in the last 6 - 7 years and this one could go either way.

You bring the champers, we'll bring the strawberries & we'll enjoy them together !!

I have a feeling Meath will win this narrowly.

I was impressed by the directness of their attacking play but their defence let the Wicklow forwards win primary possession time and time again. If they do this against Wexford they will concede heavily. It could be a high scoring shoot out but Meath have a useful bench and the ability to up their game I think.

It's going to be one hell of a good game and tbh I think it's going to be a game for the purest football fans meaning it's going to be a shoot out more then defensive... Meath conceded 1-12 against Wicklow which been honest I was a little surprised at I haven't had time to watch the whole match as what at the hurling but I would have taught Wicklow had only two forwards up to our standard when you think of brosnan,Barry,lyng and pj (who always playes well in Croker cause of his pace) so this fills me with confidence... On the other hand they managed 1-17 which is excellent scoring and I taught Wicklow would have had better defenders then us.. Like I said against Louth all wexford fans needn't fear any team in midfield as we have superman (waters) and if Quinlivan gives 80% of his contribution he gave in drogheda we will at least break even if not more... Malone has got to mark Reilly on the wing as he is a closer marker then Flynn and we would lose to much up front if Flynn was against to man mark as he loves to pop up as an extra attacker.

Like I said Malone for Reilly... Reilly is a class act and I wouldn't expect Malone to hold him just to try curb his effect on the game... Coroner backs will need to be tighter then they were against Louth as Molloy always takes 20 odd minutes to get to grips of an opponent..

All in all I think if both teams show up it will be a humdinger of a game.. I would be confident of winning as would the Meath fans.. But we are after all only wexford sure we should be thankful just to be gracing the pitch with Meath :-P. wexford by 4 LOCH GARMEN ABU!!!!!

Graham Reilly was brilliant last night,
but Meath will need more than one man to
beat Wexford.

Brosnan and co. could well destroy us unless there is a serious improvement in our half back line. Either way it's going to be a high scoring game. Really looking forward to this one

When was the last time we actually beat Wexford because all I remember was a tame defeat to them in 06 and that 'thing' in 08.

Wexcore. Spot on this match could be one that should be recorded and shown to kids in how football use to be played. Purists will love this encounter, not a sigjt of puke anywhere.
you are also correct in saying wexford will be confident of win and no one in meath will say don't say that. Just as meath have every right to think we can win.
waynol you must have been happy with your neighbors performance last night :-) sure if kildare beat yas you can bring a meath boirahn to the hill to.cheer on your adopted county men. :-

Think your're about right with 95 Ollie, was a bit young to remember that though. Well seen as how we haven't beaten Wexford in so long that has to make them heavy favourites so, any chance you're going to support your underdog neighbours again Ollie? :-)

As in the game against Wicklow a weak half back line will pose even greater problems for Meath on the wide open spaces of Croke Park . On the other hand Meath would be more comfortable in Croker than Wexford . If Bray can rejig his game and we .get a couple of half backs I think it's Meath by 3-4 points . But then what , ? might be better off not meeting the Dubs ,,, (lol) haha.. I think the Dubs might not like to meet Meath either , and indeed it could well be Kildare , so it's going to be interesting. Whatever the permutation if Meath can't get through the Leinster then they have no hope in AI.... Not writing off anyone of last four just being loyal to my own county.

Of course Htaem. I always should for the underdog. Its a pity Louth are not playing Meath but fair play to Wexford they won fair and square. It should be a great day out in Croker with yourselves and Wexford and the Dubs and the Lillywhites. I might venture up myself. The underdog Leinster final would be Meath v Kildare.

Same as that Ollie, no disrespect to Wexford but I was really hoping Louth would come through to set up a great day out in Croker but sure look, didn't happen. You should head up anyway though, should be good crack, wonder what sort of turn out the Gaa are expecting, could well reach 70k I think.
