“Wicklow/Carlow etc. have been flying in challenges, Tommy erm, erm (Marty prompts) yeah, Tommy Flynn is a serious operator, they’ve had a good league (W2D1L5) and have solid underage squads (see senior stats) We’re taking nothing for granted, massive occasion for all and we’re expecting a battle”…Yawn…
The nearest to a right battle Dessie will see all Summer is a few young Meath hard chaws firing pint bottles at the Dublin bus as it passes the Rathoat Inn.
Prob bollox but rumour the sponsor wasn’t happy his sons weren’t getting game time and threatened to pull it. Allegedly did something similar with Meath hurlers in the past.
Fucking nuts if that is the reason. If Byrne is to go back the people that made this decision will have to go. I’d other clubs would be eyeing up Byrne considering the job he has done at Ratoath.
