Reilly points the finger at Meath defectors

Former Meath captain Kevin Reilly rejects the resigned attitude of some players who left the panel this year and believes their decisions have cost the county.

Last November, goalkeeper Paddy O’Rourke quit, later explaining that Meath weren’t “getting any closer to where we want to go” and was pessimistic about the county’s future.

He said: “Winning Leinster again or challenging for an All-Ireland doesn’t look realistic any time soon, and in fact it feels like it farther away than ever.”
