Having just typed the above headline, I realise there’s probably as much chance of me walking down for a pint as there is of the said eventuality coming to pass, but, even in light of the cataclysmic loss of Ruairi Kinsella, the listed half forward line has me salivating at what might be possible if we did field as such.
Ciaran Caulfield’s presence in the half forward line would create myriad possibilities, especially as direct running from himself and Mat Costello would be just the trick to curb the influence of Derry danger men Conor Doherty and Gareth McKinless.
That said, it would appear highly unlikely that Adam O’Neill will line out as listed at centre field. Either way, Meath teams have always been at their best when written off and gut feeling is these lads might have a surprising kick or two left in them yet. Here’s hoping.
MEATH – S. Brennan; S. Lavin, S. Rafferty, R. Ryan; D. Keogan, B. Menton, S. Coffey; C. McBride, A. O’Neill; C. O’Connor, M. Costello, C. Caulfield; J. Morris, J. Conlon, E. Frayne (Capt.)
SUBS – B. Hogan, B. O’Halloran, K. Smyth, C. Hickey, J. Flynn, J. O’Connor, R. Jones, K. Curtis, J. McEntee, C. Duke, A. Lynch.
