No the days of buying tickets at the gate are gone, can get them in SuperValu or Centra. If you're not keen on online then the other option is to get a friend/family member to grab them on Ticketmaster and send you a screenshot of the ticket or print it out. Screenshots/print outs work in county venues, the only one that requires the online digital ticket is Croke Park (that I'm aware of)

Chris Og Jones & Brian O'Driscoll are the two danger men so need to be locking them down and not make the tactical mistake of the Louth game by giving the likes of Mulroy acres of space on the ball. Can see Cork pressing high up on our kickouts like they did against Kerry to rattle Hogan so hope we've a few plans up our sleeve to counteract that, the obvious is to do the same as the Dublin game and have Menton, Flynn, Costello, Duke and maybe start O'Neill/McBride and have them setup to give Billy plenty of options, then have Caufield, Keoghan, Rafferty dropping around the arc to give the short option. Kickouts is where we lost the game v Louth so get that right and we've the beating of Cork.

Interesting team. Probably our strongest all year.

Expect to see Lavin pick up Og Jones and maybe Rafferty O Driscoll.

If we are losing the middle third battle then I would expect to see Gray, McBride, McEntee and O Neill all introduced.

Ian Maguire terrifies me, if he's dominating which I think he will I'd love to see Conor Gray come on and deal with that. He's the most defensive minded midfielder we have. Surprised to see O'Halloran dropped instead of Lavin. Lavin was OK against Dublin, very poor against Louth and hasn't played well since the league.

If the remedial work required (that was so easily identifiable in the last match,) is attended to in training,then we don't have to be terrified of anyone I would say the lads are going in with belief now ,and concentration that for improvement that it is game by game from here .I think they will be well primed not to allow distractions to get in the way. I imagine the mindset will be we take charge from the start because we are good enough for this job to day, rather than focus too much on the opposition ,We dealt with that in training and we a fully prepared for them. I imagine the team talk will be short from Robbie " you know the lessons learned from the last day lads.....you know the plan ..... go out and enjoy yourselves in carrying it out....The best of luck " and so say all of us i suggest.

Play with same determination and quality versus Dublin and Middle of first half against Louth, we will take Cork without fuss. However if we stand back looking at them like against Louth in final quarter of Leinster final and against Louth and Monaghan in league, we will be there waiting for a beating. Lots of people tipping Cork and bookies favour Cork which is a good place for Meath to be entering match. Selection looks about right but hope Morris is indeed fully fit and Ryan adds experience and tightness to backline but Meath need to go out and be hungry for the ball and the win and let's hope that'll be enough.
