Dubs by 2, after Meath being 10 up at half time. Shocking second half, am not happy!

That was some comeback

I started a thread some time ago about the dreaded 10pt led curse

It's happened so often before, get that far ahead and shot selection can get sloppy, and tackles start getting loose

It still takes a great effort to claw it back, but Meath will wonder how they lost that

But only scoring 3 points in 2nd half + ET was poor, but Dublin obviously just never gave up and fought until the end

Well done to our minors, they were humiliated last year, but put that right today after a v poor start, hard luck to Meath.

That's a serious comeback in fairness.
You wouldn't want to be trying to pull ten back too often though.
Meath must be raging.

meath will see dublin in the final..

meath outplayed them first half,but fell into the trap of thinking the game was won. ref bottled a pen near the end though.

I think the Meath minors were just a bit fearful of Dublin to be honest. :)

Great win to be honest, hopefully we will sneak along and find ourselves in a Leinster final soon.

Galway, Kerry and Donegal looking very strong at this level though.

I was in O'Connor Park today for the meeting of Westmeath and Offaly. Pretty one sided game in truth. Westmeath enjoyed plenty of possession but were pretty clueless with it. The tactic seemed to be give the ball to the biggest guy and see how far he could go with it. That or a hand passing game with little running off the shoulder making it a pointless tactic hence the paltry 1-4 final scoreline. Offaly on the other hand were far more cohesive in possession and had a decent full forward line which gave plenty of options even with all the bodies back something Westmeath did not have. I really don't know much about Leinster football at the grade but given its Offaly's 2nd routine win they will be a side to keep an eye on in Leinster anyways. Given the finalists get to a AI quarter final this must give Offaly a decent shot of achieving this. As for Westmeath I am afraid it will in all probability be a short campaign. I found little positives in their performance today apart from a fantastic point from a sideline ball in the 2nd half off the left boot of one of their players. Second time I have come away from a Westmeath underage match this year and felt this way.
