Graham Reilly: Meath ‘miles off’ Dublin

For a side with ambitions of taking down the number one team in Ireland, Graham Reilly accepted that struggling against the joint worst team in the country isn’t a great start for Meath.

In fact, if Meath and Dublin were to contest a fourth consecutive Leinster final in the morning, Reilly admitted the Royal County would be “kicked out of Croke Park”, based on current form.

The experienced half-forward gave the frank assessment in the wake of Meath’s mere four-point win over a Wicklow side that finished at the foot of Division 4 in the Allianz league.
