Exciting finale to the Gerry Reilly this weekend in prospect

Gerry Reilly U-16 FT 2015
This year’s Gerry Reilly U-16 FT comes to an exciting finale this weekend with all 3 finals taking place. No doubt we’ll see a lot of players in action who could lift the Sam Maguire in the future!
The Gerry Reilly Cup Final draws this year’s tournament to a close on Sunday evening (26 July @ 7.30 pm) and promises to be a fantastic game between the two group leaders, Cavan and Dublin.
Both teams showed great skill and enthusiasm on their paths to the final. Coupled with this, Cavan are defending champions, while Dublin were champions the previous year. In last year’s final, Cavan came out on top over Dublin, which adds more spice to this year’s final.
In the ‘round robin’ we were treated to fantastic displays and scoring by both teams and no doubt we’ll have more on Sunday evening in the final.

The Gerry Reilly Plate Final takes place on Saturday evening (25 July @ 7.30 pm) between the Group runner-ups, Louth & Meath.
Louth had a big win over Westmeath last weekend and will be all out to win the Plate. Louth also had a one point win over Meath in Group B.

Meath have done well having to play with a split squad (2 teams) making up for a late withdrawal in the tournament. They will be all out to turn the tables on Louth this time.

The Gerry Reilly Shield Final takes place on Sunday afternoon (26 July @ 3.00 pm) between Meath and Monaghan (finished 3rd in their groups). Monaghan will be putting it up to Meath after their big win over Wicklow at the weekend and will be buoyed up by their Seniors win over Donegal.
Meath will be up for the double having defeated Monaghan earlier with their split squad, but will have their work cut out by a much improved Monaghan.
