The match between Meath and Cork was characterized by its slow pace and lack of excitement, as both teams predominantly opted for hand-passing rather than advancing the ball through kicks. This approach contributed to a game that many viewed as lacking quality. In contrast, the Monaghan versus Louth match displayed a more dynamic playstyle, with Monaghan effectively using short-kick passes and incorporating active runners to progress the ball, highlighting the stark differences in strategies employed by the teams.
The clash between Meath and Cork in Navan yesterday was not a game of high drama or anything like it. For the most part it was slow moving and lacking in quality.
One of the reasons for this was that both sides played the ball through the hands and there were few kicks forward.
The contrast in the Monaghan v Louth match was striking as the Ulster side in particular played a lot of short-kick passes forward with a lot of runners then coming to take a pass on the run.
