Great occasion for Meath hurling. Its been a long old climb up the rankings but to finally make it past Kildare this year and on to the CR final its a great achievement no matter what happens. Not that we'll be only making up the numbers, look at what Westmeath did to the Cats at U21, so this could be the year of up sets.

Hopefully we'll be well represented in Croke Park on the day.

It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

I don't know, I know Antrim are at a bit of a low ebb but its hard to judge how far we've come on. We've got to a good few semi-finals over the last few years so we had to win one eventually.

Fingers crossed but we are certainly the underdogs here.

We should but if we go out with the wrong attitude then we'll get caught out and be in trouble ...A host of teams that are supposed to be at a worse level than Antrim have given us a scare and beaten us handy this year....If Clarkey isn't on song we'd need to have a back up plan
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

100% he's been the sole reason the new regime hasn't dropped any matches truth be told.

When Roscommon can give ye a right good game up in the Glens you know it's not a great Antrim team

Do the winners get automatic promotion to the Leinster Championship, or do they have to play off with Carlow?

It said on the sunday game (it was the commentator actually) that they would play the winners of the christy ring. Hope it's wrong...

Whatever happened Liam Watson, too old or just packed it a few years ago?

Just watching the Mayo game, Keith Higgins is a great hurler, seen him a few times before but the fitness as you'd expect is great, but stick work is very good.... Decent game, loads of space but defences are strong... Any Armagh footballers on this team?

There is a promotion/relegation game.
Talk about keeping counties down!
