A great servant for Meath over an incredible 14 seasons.
Congratulations on a great career Seamus !

Are we playing this year or what's the craic ?

Everyone and their mothers seem to want this. We have Evans and Geraghty putting themselves forward, Giles, O'Rourke, Kelly & possibly even Harnan considering it. And then there's Seán Boylan who was the man of choice a couple of months ago. There may even be others, or possibly more men from outside the county with an interest. Thoughts, anyone? 

I'm surprised there's no thread on this yet. As I see it this should be a close encounter, with either team having a chance to shade it. I'll give it to Louth though, on the assumption that they've stopped feeling sorry for themselves. I can't see either of them getting past Dubh Linn in the following round though.

Meath's hopes of preserving their Allianz Football League Division 2 status have suffered a blow with the news that Paddy Gilsenan is facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

The Oldcastle forward has been one of the few shining lights in what has been a bitterly disappointing campaign for the Royals, who are facing a relegation showdown with neighbours Louth in Navan on Sunday week.

Gilsenan was especially prominent in the early rounds when Meath chalked up wins over Monaghan and Westmeath, but they have since suffered four straight defeats that have left them in the relegation mire for the second successive year.

As one of the few playing well, will Gilsenan's injury signal Division 3 Football for the Royals? Or will the team produce a strong enough performance to beat Louth?

Well lads,

I know many of the posters here are Irish speakers, in addition to being very knowledgeable about GAA, and I'd like to invite anyone who's interested to a new forum here - http://foramnagaeilge.freeforums.org/index.php

There is no requirement for fluency or anything.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
