AI minor football championship

[Captain Obvious]

Galway look like the better side but very wasteful. Low quality game so far.

15 mins gone Meath 1-2 Galway 0-3

[armaghniac]

I find myself rooting for Meath, strange experience.

[Blowitupref]

HT Meath 2-4 Galway 0-6.  1-1 late on gives Meath a rather flattering 4 point lead at the break.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Our lads a bit small compared to Meath. Especially at the back where their 3 forwards are all bigger than our 3 backs. They are able to power straight through them. That said we've actually had plenty of ball.

Paul Kelly very good in midfield though. The spit of his brother.

The whole changing from under 18 to under 17 has made a huge difference to the minor game. That 1 extra year means so much in terms of physical and skill, far less enjoyable spectacle and that's not having a cut at the young lads

You could be right there. Young lads still in development mode more so than U18. I thought Galway was the better side in the 1st half but gave away two soft goals and find themselves behind,

[GalwayBayBoy]

Might be time to take the number 5 off the frees. I think he's missed every one so far.

[Blowitupref]

Two quick Galway goals they now lead. 42 mins gone Galway 2-7 Meath 2-6

53 mins gone Galway 3-9 Meath 2-7

FT Galway 3-13 Meath 2-9

Meath 11 scores from 15 attempts and Galway 16 from 27 attempts highlights the best team won and was good value for their margin of victory.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Great comeback to be fair from 5 down I think early in the 2nd half. Played some fine football after that.

Kelly and Halloran very tidy players.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Too easy for Galway in the end, maith siad.

[Captain Obvious]

Best team certainly won that game. No disrespect to Meath but I think they won a weak Leinster championship.

Who picks the man of the match in these games?
Aidan Halloran got it & while he played well the best player on the pitch by a country mile was Galway Number 7 Cathal Sweeney
