Meath full forward line but they are making runs out to the ball away from goal instead of working width of the field
The easy way of getting possession and portraying the mirage that you’re playing well but as you say it’s not going to suffice at that level. You can wrack up lots of possession in the modern game and do nothing with it. You need inside forwards with an inherent sense of how to make an incisive run.
Mick Fitzsimons is 35. Meath should be able to test him in a “wan on wan inside in the square”.
Christ that Wicklow miss in stoppage time will haunt them for a long time to come. Any bit of composure there and they have Kildare beaten. Reminded me a little bit of Eoin McGrath v Cork in 2007. To compound matters Kildare then went upfield and won it from a hopeless Garryowen attempt that landed short but assisted the winner.
Do Wexford go into the Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Cup now? Is it straight knock out or an attractive champions league format to provide the players with more games?
Groups of 4 like last year I think. 1st goes directly into a quarter-final and 2nd and 3rd head for the preliminary quarter-final. Should have a reasonable attempt at the Tailteann Cup this year. A semi-final is definitely tangible.
Very true. They could’ve reached a first Leinster final in living memory. Albeit they’d have probably lost by 26 points to Dublin. Followed by defeats to Kerry, Donegal and Roscommon in the Sam Maguire round robin.
