ROSCOMMON v MEATH...

[thejuice]

We never seem to do much at U-21 anyway. Minors have the odd good year but still find silverware hard to come by.

We've had a mixed start as usual but hopefully things are starting to click now. Flanagan and Rooney have impressed a lot of people so far. Hope it continues.

Last year's Meath under 21s weren't much use, in line with the trend.

Their U21s reached the Hastings cup and Leinster finals last year beaten by Roscommon and Dublin who went on to reach the All Ireland U21 final.

That's not very impressive. Honestly. Ros didn't win it either.
Meath haven't won since 93 I think.
I wouldn't count getting to a provincial final as much of an achievement. 
Any year Galway are beaten by the 2 teams in the final is a bit of a write off

Last year was first time Meath had reached Leinster U21 final since 2001. One of the best Galway underage sides didn't win the All Ireland, 1995 minor team I think it was.

Haven't heard any news on our team yet. Will probably be a late announcement.. Tough on Shane O'Rourke to have had so many bad injuries....... As long as there are no lasting effects from the flu, the Rossies should be able to give Meath a match of it.

94
Donnellan was on it. 

Meath should be doing way better underage.

Time to get the oul' voice in shape to roar on the lads later.
25 years of hurt to be eradicated today we hope.

Lads be ready for some snow here in Roscommon

Lads be ready for some snow here in Roscommon

Any chance it might be cancelled?

Seen some tweets of there being serious snow in Galway and the Laois game being in doubt

[Syferus]

This is going to be a game of pinball if it's played.

No update yet, referee doing a pitch inspection but nothing else apart from that.

[Syferus]

It's been called off.

[Shrewdness]

So much for Spring weather with Galway's game also off. Not a bit of snow down around Ballagh or Loughglynn..The extra week will help our lads who had the flu in the last 10 days and the lads who played a lot of Sigerson Cup recently.

Aye, the only caveat is well have some unholy U21 clashes coming up if our U21s are as good as advertised.

There was always a possibility that Hyde Park was a dodgy proposition for this game if the weather was bad. But it now seems that the option of Kiltoom wasn't considered as Plan B, because as i write this, the Roscommon ladies are playing Sligo in Kiltoom!!
