Meath 2026

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Fixtures out:

Home vs Derry, Louth and Tyrone. And away trips to Cavan, Cork, Kildare & Offaly.

Doesn't appear to be dates on all of them yet but the home games have dates and will be double headers in Croke Park with Dublin, so you can work out a lot of the fixtures.

Derry Home on January 24th

Cavan Away on January 31st

Louth Home on 14th/15th February

Cork or Offaly Away February 21/22

Kildare A way on March 1st

March 14th/15th Home vs Tyrone

Cork or Offaly Away March 21/22

Some tough games on the road, but Division 2 will be incredible competitive regardless where the games are.

Anyone else worried by a lack of home games in the NFL? Especially as double headers with the Dubs to make it feel like an away game. Could hinder us competitively.

It is what it is. Croke Park really a neutral venue but playing there regularly can only be a good thing. The away games are probably the easier ties but thought Cork would have been a home venue as played them away last year. Cavan, kildare and Offaly are bordering counties so shouldn't have a major effect and expect a big Meath following to travel for each.

If you take a more possitive outlook, on the flip side, we have never had a more winnable schedule of away games in a league campaign. Also I'd rather play derry Tyrone and louth in croke park then up in derry Tyrone or that god awful iniskeen

Replying To Head4TheBlackSpot:  "Hearing that Eric Lowndes , Glen O'Reilly , Caolan Ward and John McDonagh called into Meath"
Eric lowndes, is surely just a rumour ?? Win so much with Dublin and go play a year or two with meath at the end of his career. It'd be a welcome addition in a position we are short on.
