O’Dowd unfazed by McHugh comments

Mick O’Dowd insists he is not bothered by claims his Meath team have become uncompetitive at the top level of Gaelic football.

Donegal legend Martin McHugh made the comments last week in a general discussion in which he labelled the current Championship set-up “a mess”, that only favours an elite few.

The 1992 All-Ireland medallist and father of current Donegal forward Mark claimed that several traditionally strong football counties have fallen away as All-Ireland contenders, name checking Meath in his argument.
