Louth focus on smaller targets

Louth captain Adrian Reid says that today’s game against Meath “is our Leinster final, make no mistake about it.” But he doesn’t say it for purposes of revenge. You know - Joe Sheridan, Martin Sludden and all that.

The real change that’s happened since 2010 is that Louth don’t consider winning Leinster a particularly realistic possibility. At least not at this stage of their young team’s development, and especially not when faced with the Dublin dynasty.

So winning the quarter-final against the only Leinster county they share a border with is the height of expectation for the Wee County.
