Hear from Robbie Brennan, Eoghan Frayne, Conor Duke & Jordan Morris on full-time at Glenisk O’Connor Park in Tullamore after Meath beat Kerry on a scoreline of 1-22 to 0-16.After leading by 6 at the break, it was a disatrous start to the second half for Meath as Cathal Hickey picked up a black card just 15 seconds into the 2nd half for a cynical pull back following the throw-in. Dylan Geaney knocked over two in quick succession, but by the time Hickey returned, The Royals still held 5 point lead, at 16 points to 11. A pair of fine two pointers from Ruairi Kinsella & Conor Duke extended Meath’s  lead to 7 with just 15 to play. Not to long after Meath stalwart Bryan Menton goaled for the Royals to open up a 10 point lead, which proved to be unassailable. Meath will now have significant break before the All-Ireland quarter finals at Croke Park.Kerry on the other hand will have to settle for a home preliminary-quarter final next weekend.

On a wider scale, the guys considered whether or not there is anything the LGFA can do about Irish players joining up with AFLW clubs in Australia, and how much it is actually impacting Ladies Gaelic football in Ireland.
