Replying To ziggy32001: "Carlow beat Dublin!" Yeah I seen don't know what that's about. I didn't think Dublin were good this year but either Carlow are strong this year or Dublin are very poor. Kildare are good. Next week should give us a good indication LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 11/02/2017 16:06:22 1954759 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Not sure about that. 2 giants midfield. They are very tall but not that heavy I would have thought" hard to judge in a photo to be honest. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 11/02/2017 16:33:08 1954766 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "hard to judge in a photo to be honest." Yeah fair enough. Lot of tall lads on the team in fairness. They were really strong in the tackle today. Impressed me how many turnovers they got LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 11/02/2017 16:51:50 1954771 Link

good win today WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 876 - 11/02/2017 17:49:59 1954798 Link
Very good win by the Minors at the weekend. Got off to a bad start but the wind was blowing a gale so it was more about hanging in there. Joey Donnelly looked sharp but it was more of a team performance than any individual really standing out. Kildare will be a really different challenge and probably a better guide as to where the lads are at. Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 479 - 13/02/2017 08:15:58 1955872 Link
Poor poor game regardless of the conditions Meath just trying to play some sort of system and just not able to at all bringing to wing forward back bringing out FF and leaving two inside. Coyle just looked at his team seen two lads at 6ft3 and put them centre field both poor and tried to win the game on there running down the middle and both just turned over Meath909 (Meath) - Posts: 19 - 13/02/2017 10:12:50 1955963 Link

I still think as a starting point it was good - next week against Kildare will be a bigger test! Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 479 - 13/02/2017 15:55:59 1956229 Link

Atleast they were defensively strong, as the pitches get harder as well that transition will be easier as the ball and the runner travels faster LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 13/02/2017 17:25:45 1956285 Link
Looking forward to Meath Kildare minor game this weekend in Dunganny . Kildare will be strong let's hope the Royals are able to compete with them . I imagine there will be a few new boys given a go to give them all a chance . Based on last week's comments it looks positive and this panel can only get better Anybody new to watch out for? .

Yeah - it should be a good game - the weather doesn't look too promising but same for both sides I guess. Bound to be a few changes from last week but most of the lads have been involved in the panel for a while now. It will be interesting to see how they manage the system they are trying to play.

Big win! Anyone at the game? Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 18/02/2017 13:15:49 1957906 Link
Couldn't go to the game but Jesus serious win, wonder if Kildare had there full team. Who played well ? LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 18/02/2017 13:37:37 1957911 Link
Replying To Barney123: "Big win! Anyone at the game?" Great win! Meath played with great intensity - very good first half with the wind - two goals really gave them a cushion! Had a man sent off 5 minutes into second half but they still outplayed Kildare even though playing into the wind There was lots of good performers throughout - about 25 lads got on. Kildare had a strong panel out - missing a couple of lads but so were Meath Bit early yet to be getting overly excited but a really good show today Well done lads - keep it going!

Shane Walsh was good and so was Robbie Clarke but genuinely would be hard to be critical of any of the players - they looked fit and they outworked kildare all over the pitch. They were were very good in the first half but the second half was impressive because they were into a wind and down to 14 players and still outscored kildare! Tactics were similar but played them better! Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 479 - 19/02/2017 10:42:57 1958160 Link
1-15 to 2-4 win over Louth. Wasn't at the game but a good result. Very tough to read into the league (Dublin won it last year and then we hammered them in champo). But the signs are good, onto the semi final now LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1463 - 25/02/2017 13:42:06 1960448 Link
Yeah - took them a while to get going despite playing with the wind in the first half - but a very good second half performance. Great to go through the league stage unbeaten but it is still early days Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 479 - 25/02/2017 14:55:24 1960472 Link
Carlow in the semi final is it? I see they beat Tipperary today having already beaten Wicklow and Dublin. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 25/02/2017 16:24:50 1960508 Link
