Trevor Giles: Passion won’t bridge the talent gap in Meath

Meath legend Trevor Giles reckons the Royal County lack stellar senior talent and has rejected the idea new boss Andy McEntee can bridge that deficit with an injection of pride and passion alone.

Meath ran Dublin close in the 2012 and 2013 Leinster finals though have fallen behind neighbours Westmeath in the provincial pecking order in the last two seasons.

Giles agreed next year’s Leinster campaign is probably a done deal already. He said in Meath’s case they haven’t produced the handful of iconic players, like they had in the past, which are required to seriously challenge for Leinster and All-Ireland titles.
