No one in Cusack Park that day felt we were anywhere in Dublin's league. They scored 1-28 from play, first pointed free with fifteen minutes left, in every aspect of the game they were far superior, it's no surprise that they've reached the final and I'd give them every chance of beating Offaly.

Without a doubt but its also true to say that if our for senior lads had been 100% focused on their grade it would have been closer.
We need to beat Meath tomorrow to stay in Mcdonagh and then develop an S&C strategy that will ensure we arent giving huge starts to the Dublins of this world.
Also I would be asking the board that now we are in 1B that no under 20s play senior inter county hurling until that team is out of the championship.
On a positive note good wins for Marys over Wexford CBS in 2nd year and Johnstown in 1st year and Athboy winning North Leinster senior schools with lots of Delvin and Brownstown lads

We definitely have better hurlers, in general, than Meath, and we're at home, but this is do or die for both teams, Meath been Meath will fight to the final whistle so we're in for a dogfight.
