    Everyone I talk to is heading up , great to see it. But worried about the amount of times we get caught with less than 3 up.

    3 times in the Offaly match n twice again Dublin. Was a real let off in the dub match where they missed a 2 point free in the second half. I don't expect sam mulroy to be as generous

    Half absolutely buzzing, half absolutely bricking it about tomorrow. Jack Flynn back in the team but remains to be seen whether he'll make it. Have seen rumours that Jordan Morris is in the extended squad but I can't see how that'd be possible given how serious his injury was in March.

    He's very close to being back I'm reliably told.. Hope it's true

    After a great start the ladies finished with Dublin hitting 8 unanswered points. Disappointing.

    Jesus, we absolutely sh*t the bed with that! Absolutely dominated the first half but let Louth in for the easiest goals you're likely to see. The third one particularly, our defence just parted. Then when we went four up in the second half, we stopped playing again. Our only score in the last 23 minutes was Costello's goal. Literally couldn't win anything in midfield in the last quarter. Which made our last kickout all the more baffling given we needed possession.

    Not sure how it looked on the TV but referee seemed determined to give Louth anything once they hit the deck. Their last two point free to put them back ahead looked soft as anything.

    Overall, gutted with the result. Felt with a bit more composure we could have won it. But not to be. Onto the group stages where we've a decent shot at second place if we can pick ourselves up.

    i watched it with great intreat as the winners are were to be the number 1 seed in our group ,i wanted to avoid meath because i still think they are the all round better team

    i have no doubt that the second half of that game will be debated for the next 12 months up your way because meath never really threatened or took advantage of a number of situations , early in the second half mulroy was rattled and kicked 4 or 5 wides in a row and that was never punished , Mathew costelloe scored a brilliant goal to put Meath back in front and instead of kickstarting things meath seamed to go into retreat

    yes i agree from a tv point of view that louth got some soft frees , but the big difference for me in the end was the last 5 minutes , louth controlled the game tag teaming players over and back the half way line allowing fresher players to join into the attack and keep possession for long spells before the ciaran lennon insurance point , for me they looked the better coached side and that turned out to be the difference ,

    meath are a young team and i still see them as last 8 material this year
