An Mhí Vs Laoise, An Uaimh, Dé Sathairn, 7th Márta

Speaking of U-21's, pity both games werent played in the same venue. Though if you were pushed, you could make it to both games on Saturday.

[The Real Laoislad]

Awful night and a bad result but considering the conditions and our missing players to lose by 5 wasn't too bad..
Not that concerned with losing as the night that was in it the team who played with the wind in the first half were always gonna have a advantage,did Meath score in the 2nd half? They had a good lead built up and fair play to them they looked more up for the game than ourselves
Thought Mark Ward should have got the line btw

[INDIANA]

I'd be quite concerned laoislad. I thought youse were beyond appaliing. Leinster including ourselves looks dire already.

[Jinxy]

Nice to get a win under the belt.
Had to listen to it on the radio but it sounded like McGuinness did well at centre back.
Give him a few more games there and see how he does.
Lacks pace but he's a good footballer.

to lose so badly against a meath team that are in transition and experimenting was v bad from a laois persp.

I think Dublin will conclude experimentation soon and should emerge all the better for it and take leinster again v handily this year.
(depends on Gilroy and whelan picking players in their right positions, not playing def in attack and attackers in def !)

[Jinxy]

If we can get a regular back 6 together and get them to function as a unit we'll be on the right track.
I think Ward and Meade will be our first choice pairing come championship and the forward line if all are fully fit should be:

10. Byrne
11. C Ward
12. Nestor
13. Bray
14. O'Rourke
15. Farrell

Na, don't think Dublin will win Leinster this year never mind handily Lynchbhoy you're reading the evening Hearld too much.

[Maguire01]

Just read a match report for this - Meath failed to score at all in the second half and Laois failed to score from play for the whole game! Sounds brutal.

[Jinxy]

Conditions were dire.
Game of 2 halves etc.
If you score 1-8 in the first half you don't need to score in the 2nd!

[thejuice]

I'll take the win, for now. Not scoring in the 2nd half is not a good statisitic. Conditions looked shocking.

[Declan]

Conditions looked shocking.

Worst ever according to a couple of lads I was speaking to who were at it. Ward apparently kicked a point from about 60 yards with the gale.
