Replying To Fionn: "Jeez RD - no point in Longford turning up to play ye, by the sounds of it on here... lol ;o) Great to see you now have more confidence in COR and team progression btw - ;o) Teasing you of course." I did say in earlier post should we get over Longford. But all in all I think we should. They didn't feature in tailteann at all. Where we won. So if we have anything about us at all we should beat them. They have gone back a fair bit over last few years but still have a couple of lads that could cause problems. As every new year begins I'm full of confidence to a certain extent , I believe the team that is there now are the best we've had in over a decade. So that breathes new hope. I am also willing to give cor the benefit of the doubt that he has learned on the job and can improve, less of the Latin bs, and worrying what's been said on SG . He has one job and one job only. If he focuses on that and brings in these promised new coaches etc then we have a good chance of reaching out potential which this year imo is promotion and last 8.

Any word on new players added to the panel or lads being brought back who weren't there last year like Conor McGill? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 997 - 24/10/2023 12:46:30 2510039 Link
Replying To Royal.Legend: "The interesting thing about this is that if Meath beat Longford then the Meath Dublin game could be in Navan, Dublin have to play there leinster quarter finals away from home." That would be great. We can get our backsides handed to us by them in Navan instead of Croker. Blackspot09 (Meath) - Posts: 1000 - 24/10/2023 13:26:04 2510056 Link
Does anybody know what Meath players are playing colleges football? I would imagine Gray, Frayne and Kinsella will be in and around the Maynooth Sigerson team. Kinlough and the Corbett's playing DCU freshers. Are Walsh and Costello still with DCU? Anybody with TUD or UCD freshers or Sigerson?

Rian McConnell from Castletown started midfield for UCD freshers in their win over the aforementioned DCU freshers last week.

Replying To 3rdmanin: "Rian McConnell from Castletown started midfield for UCD freshers in their win over the aforementioned DCU freshers last week. Top talent" He's one of the best young players in the county, have seen him play a few times and at 18/19 he was running the show. Needs to bulk up a bit but if we don't develop him, we're missing a trick. I believe he's a grandson of the great Kevin McConnell. hyperache (Meath) - Posts: 250 - 26/10/2023 12:06:12 2510411 Link
I'm not sure Frayne Is up to starting on the team just yet. I think Kinsella is worth a look in league Gaelic_Games (Meath) - Posts: 21 - 26/10/2023 15:05:37 2510482 Link
I see Trevor Giles is the new football coach for senior team. Has he been involved in coaching since his time with MOD? seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2195 - 26/10/2023 18:25:15 2510530 Link
Giles is added to COR backroom team. Robbie Brennan in with Minor's. Both stepping stones imo for 2yrs time. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3970 - 26/10/2023 18:35:20 2510531 Link
Trevor Giles has been appointed as a Meath senior football team coach. WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 934 - 26/10/2023 18:50:46 2510533 Link
Nice to see Trevor back involved with the senior team again. It's just the type of thing that happens in Dublin, with numerous former players in as coaches, and something I wondered why we never did. Word is that there is a coach to come in to take Garrigan's role who is still involved with a team. Roger (Meath) - Posts: 478 - 27/10/2023 10:28:57 2510590 Link
Home to Fermanagh and away to Armagh our first two league fixtures for 2024. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2195 - 27/10/2023 15:03:12 2510650 Link

Replying To Richieq: "I see that, any idea of the rest of the fixtures?" Only saw these two, cannot find rest of fixtures, Indo. said fixtures have been sent to CBs. Should be available over next few days. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2195 - 28/10/2023 16:34:24 2510742 Link

Division 2 is very very competitive, there's no easy games. Armagh and Donegal are rumoured to be confirmed away games, that's tough if so. Both of those would be probably the favourites to return to Div 1. Hopefully we get 4 at home and 3 away - so would hazard a guess our home games will be Fermanagh, Cork, Kildare & Cavan. And We'll be away to Armagh, Donegal & Louth. Would definitely take that if was the case hyperache (Meath) - Posts: 250 - 31/10/2023 23:42:49 2511118 Link
From what I can make out these are our fixtures 28-1 Fermanagh (h) 3/4-2 Armagh (a) 17/18-2 __ 24/25-2 __ 2/3-3 Cavan (a) 17-3 Cork (h) 23/24-3 __ That leaves Kildare Louth and Donegal Reversing last year Kildare will be in Navan Louth will be in a Louth venue And Iv seen it said here by someone that Donegal will be an away game. You would imagine they would have us playing Louth or Kildare last for a derby game. urizen (Meath) - Posts: 116 - 05/11/2023 23:03:31 2511658 Link
