Meath vs Carlow, Dr Cullen Park, June 15th

Well our first game of a new championship. Looking forward to it.

Glad it's in Croker as I think we'll be a bit more comfortable there than in Dr Cullen Park. Can't take this fixture lightly as we might have once as we nearly got caught last year.

Possible line up similar to our league starting 15.

Paddy O'Rourke

Donal Keoghan, Kevin Reilly, Cillian Young,

Pauric Harnan, Brian Menton, Micky Burke,

Shane O'Rourke, Conor Gillespie

Cillian O Sullivan, Andrew Tormey, Graham Reilly,

Brian McMahon, Stephan Bray, Michael Newman,

Rumours of injuries to Stephan Bray and Kevin Reilly and if true id say well see David Bray start and Burke or Menton at full back with Paddy Gilsenan coming in on the wing.

Bit unfair to Carlow as Meath have played in Croke Park more often 

Will be interesting to see where Meath are at. Expect them to win comfortably .

Who's the referee? Everything hinges on that.

Just checked GAA.ie and it's actually a home game for Carlow. Don't know why I got the impression we were part of a double header in Croker.

Well, that changes everything doesn't it.

It will be close

to a massacre

I haven't been back to Dr Cullen Park since the Wexford horror show of 2008.
To tell you the truth, I've never really forgiven the entire county of Carlow for us losing that game.

Hardy · May 26, 2014, 01:04:44 PM

I'm never going back there.

Jinxy · May 26, 2014, 01:08:29 PM

I'll never forget the triumphant yellowbellies pelting us with strawberries as we made our way back to the car.

Hardy · May 26, 2014, 01:25:23 PM

Then they charged us for them.

Class. And beds upstairs to bring off the bodies.

Carlow might have finished bottom of Division 4 but we know they don't take the league seriously. They're a championship team.

The lads on Carlows hoganstand page are talking themselves down big time. Deep down they have us written off, well they should be warned we are not going down there to make up the numbers.
