Anytime I head to a Meath game I get the same buzz. Championship, O Byrne Cup, challenge match I don't care. Its all football

With the new jersey not out by then you're setting Royaldunne a tough task there

Dublin will enter at the semi final stage. Is this at their request? Didn't westmeath win it last year? Not sure why Dublin would be seeded in the semis.

The Leinster website doesn't show Dublin there at all.

Right. That was a fairly big waste of time. 0 atmosphere. 0 intensity. Howling wind. Felt like a training game. Positives. Jack O'Connor looks very good and didn't look like a 19 year old. We used the attacking make pretty well and Thomas O'Reilly played well. Negatives no agression shown by our defenders, so loose. Sean Reilly and Jason Scully who are older than the other young lads and both panelists last year were both very poor I thought. Brian Conlon looked completely lost at full back and then his ball skills were fairly poor at midfield. Our kickouts weren't very good. Don't know if that was Yorkes fault or the boys out the field. He made 2 solid saves but need another game of 2 to decide. Hogan not on long enough to get a feel for. But let's see next week because it was hard to get a feel for things today

Couldn't make the game myself with work: raging. The first match of the season, even OBC, is always a big game. It was good to see the use of players and nice to see guys getting a chance, I'm saddened you believe certain guys didn't stand up who were given a game but theres a few more pre-season games and challenge games to lay down a marker. Looked like a near full-strength Louth team as well to be fair. Live and learn, early days yet.

Fully agree on Jack O Connor - put in a good performance. Campion also really good. To be fair i thought Eoin lynch did really well in our back line. Conlon way out of his depth on full back line. Couldn't understand the long kick outs into a gale. I suspect this was driven by management? Strategy appeared to be to kick long to half forwards running on to collect.

"Our kickouts weren't very good" ....this was a major flaw last year, very slow learners. But then this is a 2020 competition in 2019 and no I wasn't at the game as I don't want to make myself any older.
