great to see the hunger & fight in a meath team. you can really see the influence of barry darren & paddy. the dubs weren't given an inch & when they wake in the morning they'll know they were in a game. i think that was a very poor dublin performance though, they didnt seem to know what to do when they got the ball. whether we made them look bad or they made us look good i'm not sure, great shot in the arm for football in the county though. royal69er (Meath) - Posts: 96 - 21/05/2016 21:36:29 1857141 Link

A great win, especially as for a while now we have become accustomed to losing to Dublin. That is the one thing that has annoyed me the most over the last couple of years, the fear that Meath have of Dublin. It's the most un-Meath quality as previous successful sides fed off beating Dublin, it's what made them true warriors. Roger (Meath) - Posts: 480 - 22/05/2016 14:14:38 1857279 Link

Meath now reportedly play Kildare in Pairc Tailteann as per Leinster GAA Twitter machine Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3748 - 22/05/2016 14:25:13 1857286 Link
Replying To Richieq: "Meath now reportedly play Kildare in Pairc Tailteann as per Leinster GAA Twitter machine" If they are doing it they are doing it the hard way. Laois, Dublin and Kildare there isn't a much tougher path than that. Where as Laois lose and then get Louth and Offaly bit unfair LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1568 - 22/05/2016 14:34:41 1857294 Link

Tough draw, I do feel the winners of their games should have been kept separate royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/05/2016 16:57:49 1857368 Link
great win (hurlers as well), a badly need boost for Meath GAA, hopefullt the minors can push on and make Leinster Final. It will be nice to have seniors and minors out the same day. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2214 - 22/05/2016 20:10:10 1857471 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Tough draw, I do feel the winners of their games should have been kept separate" Its a farce! Look Meath beat Laois. Laois then have to beat Carlow,Louth and Offaly to reach final. Meath have to beat Dublin and Kildare. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 22/05/2016 20:26:58 1857484 Link

Great win by the Meath Minors on Saturday .An aggressive brand of attacking football is great to see from this team . Getting one over the auld enemy is a good one especially after the result in the League . I hope they go on to build on this and don't lie down thinking the jobs done . If anything Kildare will be more difficult task , but psychologically its a plus , just don't let it become a negative . Anyone that's in the know will recall the core of this years Dublin Minors on the Gerry Reilly Squad ( U16) back in 2014 . They were beaten in the Tournament Final by Cavan U16s . Cavan Minors are languishing in Ulster at present not doing themselves justice . Build on the Dublin win , don't believe this is a done deal . This years Dublin Minors were known to be inconsistent unlike teams of previous years . Great to get a win over Dublin anyhow .

First time in years where you could actually feel pride in a Meath team performance. The crowd responded to it which made for a great atmosphere. Great tenacity from team with old fashioned spirit and good team play. Striking that there was no plauers from the so called big clubs on starting 15, great to see small rural clubs being represented. Hope we can keep our feet on ground as Dublin did look poor.

Hopefully we can match this performance next time out. I remember the 21s beating Dublin a few years ago then losing the next round to Longford. Important we stay grounded. begining (UK) - Posts: 320 - 23/05/2016 11:43:19 1857669 Link

Brilliant performance by team and management. it shows you players are there in Meath with the ability to compete There are 6 or 7 players from Division 1 Minor teams on the team but strangely nobody from D/Ashbourne (division1 finalists ) , Ratoath or Dunboyne. But there is a very good mix of players and clubs and they have mixed well Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 23/05/2016 12:42:13 1857690 Link
