Going man to man and playing "traditional open football" against the likes of O'Callaghan, Kilkenny & co. will certainly help secure your place in the Tailteann Cup without any great difficultly.

It worked well alright. Shored it up at half time which should have been the starting set up.

So in plain English when are we likely to play our first game and how soon will we know who the opposition?
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Grand, Plenty of time to work on defending, attacking, midfield, strategy, finding a few new players and so on.

Down were terrible yesterday but I'd say if they got the under 20's in theres a chance they'll go far. Meath won't do much.
