Meath’s style fails to impress O’Connell

Meath legend Martin O’Connell admits he is struggling to enjoy watching the county footballers.

Along with his family, the three-time All-Ireland winner was at Sunday’s Leinster SFC drawn game with Carlow but concedes he finds it difficult to watch the style of football being played by the Royals.

O’Connell says: “It’s sad to say but I’ve three young kids and they love the football and going to the games. Only for the kids, I would find it hard for myself to go. Meath teams of old, the support was always there in force for them but they’re not there anymore.
