If Conor McGill isn't available James O'Hare will probably start and flood will go to full back. Sheridan2010louth (Meath) - Posts: 184 - 30/01/2023 20:27:23 2455409 Link

Th only change I'd make here if both McGill and Flynn are fit is I'd go with Flynn and Jones in midfield, McGowan to 11, Scully to 12 and Campion dropping back to the bench. Overall that would likely be our strongest team at the minute based on form/experience I'd say, but with the likes of Flood and O Neill (both of them to be fair) doing better than I expected, and maybe a few more might up their game and add a bit of much needed competition ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 582 - 01/02/2023 08:22:00 2455702 Link
Fair play to Shane walsh and Mattew Costello on reaching the sigerson cup final.Cosstello scored 6 (5 frees) and Walsh scored 3(2 frees) in their win.Hopefully both are ready to go on sunday. Proudroyal (Meath) - Posts: 296 - 01/02/2023 10:39:36 2455733 Link

Good to see them playing well and encouraging that they both took frees. I heard Costello came off with an injury. Don't think it's that serious but with the Clare game in 4 days I'm not sure he'll be ready for it LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1527 - 01/02/2023 12:16:59 2455761 Link

Replying To royaldunne: "Just heard that myself. This new system is too much on players. Needs to be looked at seriously" I agree about the new group stage in the championship. But this has nothing to do with the split season. Sigerson and League games always crossed over on eachother. Atleast the club is finished before the league starts now. They could definitely do with scrapping the O'Byrne cup or at the very least making it straight knockout LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1527 - 01/02/2023 13:23:01 2455784 Link

Too many games too quickly. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 01/02/2023 14:14:16 2455799 Link

The only difference is that challenge games don't generate gate receipts as they aren't normally in proper stadiums so the powers that be will be reluctant to do this ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 582 - 01/02/2023 14:47:07 2455807 Link

It has its uses. I would prefer to start league in February. And finish all ire in August. Think that gives still enough time to run club sigerson etc and obc. It's really just tweaking the current situation royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 01/02/2023 16:38:13 2455837 Link

Heard the same about Costello today. O Rourke might give him the game off and try Moriarty at 14. Costello has been going since the league last year with very little break I don't expect any other changes to the team unless someone is injured. Wouldn't rush McGill back, he's another one been on the road a long time. If he could get 20 minutes of the bench it would be great for him.

Start league later and link to Championship. royal11 (Meath) - Posts: 102 - 02/02/2023 12:55:04 2456003 Link

And what about the lads in colleges having exams??? Plus at the very least lads should have christmas off. ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 582 - 02/02/2023 14:14:03 2456017 Link
A lot of the colleges have exams after Christmas when games are on anyway. Plenty of time to play a couple of rounds before exams prior to Christmas and after exams following Christmas. Besides many of the Sigerson players are masters students too who don't have exams. royal11 (Meath) - Posts: 102 - 03/02/2023 09:13:40 2456101 Link
Two changes to the team for the game v Clare,Moriarty in for Costello and Adam o Neil in for o Hare.Hopefully we can get the win.Costello not in the squad at all so fingers crossed it ain't to serious an injury. Proudroyal (Meath) - Posts: 296 - 04/02/2023 10:19:36 2456285 Link
Anyone know what's the story with Conor McGill? I've heard injury is not the reason that he's been left out for 2 weeks in a row. Maybe management are not happy with his conditioning. Sheridan2010louth (Meath) - Posts: 184 - 04/02/2023 12:16:13 2456321 Link
