best of luck to the team on Saturday.
There has been a lot of negativity towards hurling in the county over recent week. It's very disappointing.
The hurling fixtures (and this All Ireland Final) are a mere nuisance for our football clubs (and county board) to have to deal with.
Please god the lads bring the cup home Saturday. I know they will do us proud.

Unlucky to the lads,they gave it their best and just came up short.Wicklow in general took their opportunities with greater composure..

Relied too much on Regan and a bad 10 minute spell early in second half was our downfall. But had the chances in last ten minutes to pull it out of the fire.

Hard luck to the lads today, Felt that if one or two things went their way they would have won

Also can't believe that people would come on this forum and say the game was a waste of time, just shows how petty and stupid people can be

Hard luck to the lads. The first 15 minutes of the second half killed us, after that it was all Meath. Had our shooting, especially for goals, been better the story might have been different, but Wicklow deserved their win last night.

A lot of close calls and what ifs, but isnt that the beauty of sport...

Poor standard last night,when u watch the game after looks about 4 grades of a difference not 1...Meath to reliant on 1 player and thought starting lads just returning from America was bad decision

Listening to interview on LMFM how in the name of God could they say they taught they where good enough to win ... It's the same in league and christy ring every year big talk no medals ... 4th tier is the standard ... Full stop

My taught on the game if meath had bothered to play as a team they would have bet them alright. They're were too many lads lookin for there own limelight instead of working together and using there heads and playing as a team. Same can be said for senior team too. If you look at top teams they don't care who wins game for them but they'll always be using one another and working for one another. That's what bet meath other night plain and simple

Felt the line were at fault for this loss. No real game plan and after starting well no clear decisions made. Meath were losing it all in the middle and all substitutions were to the forward line. Aimless 65 yard efforts where better supply of ball needed to hit the full forward line. Wicklow were there for the taking and it was a missed opportunity.

Meath seemed to be a bunch of individuals and not playing collectively. Even after the game the management were very distant from the players.

Just on the last few comments. Yes lads played as individuals but one thing I can say is they are a tight nit bunch of lads. Gave everything for the team put our hearts on our sleeves. And as for starting the two lads that came back from America, there's no point going into an all Ireland final starting lads just to keep them happy. We were out there to win and win only. We were not good enough on the day but this team will win next year. Great bunch of lads staying on for next year. Don't criticise. Very big occasion for these lads. When was the last time the under 21 footballers made the final. I can't remember. And to all the **** saying no time for hurling get a grip its a sport that in our county is only getting stronger keep an eye out hurling trophies are coming and quick at that .

From what I understand management and team only put together in July giving 3 weeks to prepare for all Ireland quarter final.Full credit should be given to all involved getting to final and very close on the day. Another 3 minutes of play and the outcome would have been different.

yeah it was a pity we didnt click on the night, but it is a young team and will be back next year. hopeefully go one better. however there does sseem to be an easy tagline of meath hurling not taking responsibility for thier lack of success and actually winning things. the nonsense that is trotted out about the meath footballers doing no better is simply wrong totally and utterly false. the meath u21s got to the leinster final in 2014 and only beaten by 4 points by the eventual all ireland champions. are people seriously telling me that meath u21 hurlers all ireland appearance is any bigger achievement than that? meath footballers would have beaten two average leinster u21 teams to reach that final,just as meath beat two very average u21 hurling teams to reach sundays final in kerry and mayo. iid actually believe that them two counties are probarbly only ranked about 14th -17th in the country at u21 hurling.

its like someone tried to argue that because meath hurlers operate in div2B that they are on a par with meath footballers who operate in div 2, when in reality they are in the fourth tier of hurling. theres the problem in meath hurling going forward, we have to realise that we are actually at a lower standard than the county footballers and will have to actually win our way to respect that means losing the chip on the shoulder and winning promotion to div2a then win the ring cup,basically get up to westmeath/carlow standard.
