Meath Vs Kildare - 5th Feb, Navan

[Donnellys Hollow]

To be fair to Sherry he was carrying an injury for most of last year. He stood out against Longford and Cork in the 2015 Championship as a lad with a future. Looked to have a bit of steel about him. It's a quality that team sorely lacks.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

I knew he was carrying an injury when with the u21s, I didn't know that he was still carrying it later in the year. It is fair to take that into consideration too.

[Ohtoohtobe]

Would think Sherry's an obvious one to promote, has pace and a superb attitude, I get he's had a difficult year, but we don't have 30 better prospects, that's for sure

Surprised that Brian McMahon isn't mentioned anywhere. That full forward doesn't look as strong as we could have.

[Declan]

I'm sure Cian isn't that Vain 

David McQuillan (St Patrick's), - Any relation to Mickey McQuillan goalkeeper from the golden years I wonder?

[thejuice]

iPhones keep trying to Anglicise Irish names. It's like Cromwell all over again.

Don't know about McQuillan.

Ah shite, I was all set to slag my friend from Meath that they had a lad called "Vain" on their team. I got great mileage out of Mickey Burke's hair for years!

Graham Reilly hardly play with club intermediate final on in few weeks?

[thejuice]

He will. The Colmcilles lads have been playing for the county and club all through January including challenge matches. Much to the annoyance of Cilles fans though.

[seafoid]

How come there is nobody from Simonstown?

[Donnellys Hollow]

Are Kildare now officially the fourth best team in Leinster after Dublin A, Dublin B and Dublin C?

[Dinny Breen]

Steady up DH, it was only Meath.

[Jinxy]

On the plus side, at least we didn't lose a big lead today.

Will 12 points be enough to gain Meath promotion?
