Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Anybody know when the league starts ?" Does anyone know what this minor team is like ? Is there many from last year's team which was strong Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 28/01/2017 23:41:56 1949627 Link
Replying To Bear10: "Does anyone know what this minor team is like ? Is there many from last year's team which was strong" Not many, only one starter. But some good under 17's coming up. Colm Coyle is manager so fitness and coaching won't be a problem. They have been playing challenges seem to be doing fairly well but hard to gauge LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1454 - 28/01/2017 23:49:51 1949631 Link
Replying To Bear10: "Does anyone know what this minor team is like ? Is there many from last year's team which was strong" To be honest,most of our best minors from last year are part of the U21 panel,so it is pretty much a new minor side this year. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 29/01/2017 09:00:36 1949655 Link

Shane Walsh and Morris look potentially good. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 29/01/2017 09:01:23 1949656 Link

Freyne from the Hill and Martin from Na Fianna also . From what I remember St Peters , Ratoath and na Fianna should have a few if my memory serves me right. Thought last year's team were super and unlucky Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 29/01/2017 10:24:58 1949673 Link

There is a combined 12 from Dunboyne, Ratoath and Na Fianna. 4 from Summerhill as well LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1454 - 29/01/2017 11:12:47 1949684 Link

Conor Moriarity and how about if Conor Nash had have played haha. Would have been a serious team LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1454 - 29/01/2017 15:44:44 1949754 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Conor Moriarity and how about if Conor Nash had have played haha. Would have been a serious team" forgot about Nash! If we keep up developing these young players we will be back. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 29/01/2017 15:50:52 1949756 Link

Where and what time is the Westmeath game? RoylerKing (Meath) - Posts: 809 - 09/02/2017 15:51:45 1954049 Link
Replying To RoylerKing: "Where and what time is the Westmeath game?" Think it is at 12 o'clock and the Leinster Twitter page said the Downs pitch in Westmeath but I also heard Kinnegad so not sure LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1454 - 09/02/2017 16:23:40 1954064 Link
Twitter now informs me it's Rochfortbridge at 12 LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1454 - 09/02/2017 20:30:51 1954174 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "Twitter now informs me it's Rochfortbridge at 12" How do you expect them to do? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 10/02/2017 08:20:17 1954251 Link
Replying To ziggy32001: "How do you expect them to do?" Game throws in at 12.00 and the venue is St Marys Rochfortbridge. I wouldn't read too much into the result but the performance and the shape of teh team will be interesting. 8 or 9 of the current panel were on last years panel and although not many of them got too much game time, apart from Robbie Clarke, they will have gained good experience from their involvement. Last year they were unlucky on two fronts - firstly to lose to Kildare where they conceeded most of their scores from free kicks. Secondly, in losing to Kildare they didn't get a 'back door' option which seems harsh. Remember, Laois who they beat in the first round got a second go and then got hammered by Kildare in the Leinster Final. They then got a third go playing in the All Ireland Q Final as the Leinster runner up and losing to Galway (although not by much!). It seems to be a weird back door system at minor!

The backdoor system is a joke to be fair.Any players to watch out for apart from last years minors? ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 10/02/2017 14:16:03 1954393 Link
FYI on Hoganstand Colm Coyle's reign as Meath Minor Football manager will get off to a competitive start when the young Royals meet neighbours Westmeath tomorrow (Saturday 11th February) in Rochefortbridge with a 12 noon throw in. Best of luck to all concerned. bobkarlgees (Meath) - Posts: 1263 - 10/02/2017 14:57:09 1954416 Link
