Replying To MillerX: "Will be doing well to come out of Omagh with a win, they beat Sligo far easier than we did. Tyrone will be well organised probably with a sweeper who will know his job. Anything less that 100% for the 75+ mins could mean trouble." If they cant beat tyrone then they may burn the hurls themselves i think. They should win this div in second gear , blood some players and move on Anything less is a disaster hurlit (Meath) - Posts: 416 - 09/03/2023 15:54:40 2463019 Link

I am just urging caution as there is a lot of nonsense being spouted about this being a stroll in the park. And Tyrone got over Sligo far easier than we did.

Replying To bountyboy22: "Typical that the first round of hurling league is scheduled for St Patricks morning, have football ever played that weekend or on bank holidays?" Blackhall out in Premier championship on Thursday at 8.00 & then out again 15 hours later against dunderry in AHL Div 2.

Tyrone lost to wicklow and we didnt if thats how your gauge things. They drove to sligo the morning of the game which is not best prep for a game and i would imagine its very hard to get up for some of these games. Your also talking about league games in feb with not your best 15 starting so dont read to much into things. hurlit (Meath) - Posts: 416 - 10/03/2023 09:24:11 2463108 Link
People keep talking about Meath trying to blood new players and us not having our best 15 out yet but can anyone actually name any other players currently not on the panel that we will have?? In my opinion we are as strong now as we are going to get for the year and I for one don't see that squad winning a Christy Ring. Tobefair80 (Meath) - Posts: 60 - 10/03/2023 10:46:33 2463125 Link

There are numerous other players good enough but aren't in there, Adam gannon Gavin McGowan paddy conneely, Patrick potterton, niall smullen, ciarain longeran, Brian o halloran, cian Rodgers Alan Douglas, Brian o reily but for some reason aren't willing to commit loyalroyal23 (Meath) - Posts: 20 - 11/03/2023 17:59:11 2463416 Link

I can't see any reason why they won't win the christy ring and they certainly should win the league. There's been different players missing for every game so far but still they're winning. They haven't had a full team yet between injuries and suspension etc. No doubt the lads that are there are capable if winning. Having said that absolutely there are players in the county that should be on the panel, some not asked and some not wanting to commit. There's also some players in the panel that shouldn't be next or near it. I still think Meath should be contesting in two finals this years. Lets hope we get a good win in London this weekend Meathabu22 (Meath) - Posts: 7 - 13/03/2023 18:43:36 2463786 Link
Saturday's was probably the best League outing since the Wicklow game. Scored regularly for the entire game and rattled the net a few times. Like other posters I feel that there are other players out there who would strengthen the team quite a bit….but it's what's available that you have to rely on. I do hope that there are always places open on the panel. Wicklow and Derry will be their main obstacles in League and Christy Ring. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1066 - 14/03/2023 10:51:51 2463842 Link

Wouldn't it be great if the County Board actually thought about the players for once. But your right it will be the morning before anything is called. Foley91 (Meath) - Posts: 418 - 16/03/2023 11:11:34 2464165 Link
Why do they hate hurling so much? What state are pitches in around the country? bountyboy22 (USA) - Posts: 30 - 16/03/2023 14:20:20 2464210 Link
