Seems to be the way these days

Conor Moriarty has scored 11-11 in his last 3 games for Curraha minors.

Is he not on this panel?

I'd be surprised if he's not - he was starting on the Curragha team that won the JFC last year

Indeed,I haven't noticed him in latest games,but surely he was..

Actually just had a look and he hasn't featured in any of Meaths minor games this year which seems strange.

I see a B Joyce lined out for Curragha at the weekend, is this Brian Joyce? I thought there was a rule brought in that county minors couldn't play adult league. I know my own club's minor has been told to follow this anyway.

There is a rule that anyone who is eligible for U 17 cannot play adult football. Or did you mean that the minors were asked not to play with their clubs ?

No, there was a separate rule brought in to deal with player burnout. Members of a minor county panel cannot play adult league with their club until the county minors are out of their championship

Meath Minors start their Chamoinship campaign this weekend. They have received gear from the county board and have trained hard under Barry Darren and the lads. They are playing Laois in laois so I am sure it will be a tough outing. At different stages members of teh panel were asked not to line out for their clubs as there were challnge games or league games going on. However, players were allowed to play for their clubs when teh Minor team was inactive as it was in the case of young Joyce from Curraha.

Hopefully the Minors will get plenty of support this weekend and make a positive start to teh Championship!

Is Moriarty from Curraha on the panel?

Best of Luck to the minors at the weekend against Laois. They seem to be a tightnick group with good managers who hopefully can get the best out of them. I was at the Curraha Dunderry game last week and Morriarty and Joyce surely are on the panel. Are there any more lads not on it that should get a look in?
James Conlon , Craig Munnelly, Mickey Cullen and Darren Gibney from Moylagh have impressed me

Brian Joyce is on the panel. Moriarty isn't but I understand that is by his own choice which if true is a shame. They have a very good group of players and as I said already they have worked very hard over the past 6 months. I have been watching both the under 17 and Minor panels for the past few years and there has been great work done with them and the set up is excellent.

The Minor panel have trained every Tuesday and Thursday night and when they are not playing matches they have trained on saturday's too. They have had plenty of challenge games and did reasonably well in the Leinster League losing only to Dublin in the final.

The Under 17's likewise have trained regularly and have used the facilities in Dunganny constantly - they too have had several challenge games

The under 15's under Joe Traenor have had plenty of S & C sessions and are playing a sries of trial games at the moment.

It seems a shame that this standard is not consistent. It is unacceptable -

Good luck to the Minors at the weekend.

Its a pity Moriarty is not on the panel,some think he is our best minor.Do people expect us to beat Laois?

ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 14/04/2016 12:26:31    1845492

Moriarty is a good player but certainly not the best minor in the county........Darragh Campion from Skyrne in my mind holds that distinction.

Moriarty is racking up big scores in Div 2 probably against teams that are without their county minors. Lets see if he can replicate those type of headlines come championship if (and they should be) they are in Div 1.

Daragh Campion is the captain of the minor team - he is a very good player - no doubt. They have a lot of good players though!

Laois are a decent outfit too but my money would be on Meath! An Mhi Abu!

Is it strange that there's not one O'Mahonys, Simonstown, Ashbourne, Ratoath, Dunboyne or Summerhill man starting, seeing as these are meant to be our best clubs? Fair play to the lads from smaller more rural clubs like Moynalty, Moylagh, Carnaross and Slane getting a start.

Its odd alright,but if its the best team then fair enough!

What do people make of the team,I would only know some of the players tbh

ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 15/04/2016 18:44:04    1846025

Its probably as strong a team as management has available to them. Plenty of strenght down the middle and the full forward line looks very threatening with conlon and scully in the corners. Its a pity Conor Nash and Conor Moriarty didnt make themselves available I'm sure they would have been starters. I also find it incredible that Ashbourne have no one on the panel let alone team. Probably favourites along with Skyrne for minor champ later on in the year.

Anyway good luck tomorrow....An MHI Abu !!!
