A real JFC at last. Chronicle sprouting rubbish about how few 2nd teams won in the past but the problem was strong 2nd teams beat Junior teams in early rounds and lost when weakened later in the year. Field is leveler now St Marys v Dunsany. Only 1 winner here and they wear Red Drumconrath v Kilbride. Repeat clash from JBFC Round 1 2019 and similar result Kilbride to win 1st Junior A match in years. Moynalty v St Vincents. Two of the best teams and I reckon Vincents to win. Clonard v Carnaross. Clonard to take a pasting here from a youthful Ross Boardsmill v Ballivor. Local derby but different class Maroon to win Kilmainhamwood v St Brigids. Two poor sides but Kwood should triumph Cortown v Slane; Cortown have hopes and Slane seem to have steadied but that they need to improve so that wont be enough. Cortown to a thumping victory !!!!!! St Ultans v The Bye. Only one result here !!! glenny (Meath) - Posts: 1116 - 30/07/2020 10:23:34 2285793 Link

CarnaRoss by 6 Boardsmill v Ballivor. Ballivor by 5 of 6 Kilmainhamwood v St Brigids. Kilmainhamwoos by 2 Cortown v Slane; Slane by 1 St Ultans v The Bye. Top 5 for me are Carnaross, Dunsany , Vincents . Moynalty and Ballivor Think Ballivor's year Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 30/07/2020 11:29:43 2285808 Link

Dunsany vs Mary's : 1 sided game would expect a wide enough margin could be double figures Drumconrath vs Kilbride: another 1 sided game drumcondrath are woeful Kilbride would want to be giving them a hiding if they fancy challenging this year Moynalty vs St vincents: hear a few moynalty lads are out injured so would expect the vincents to win here Clonard vs carnaross: clonard seem to have regressed in the last few years carnaross without getting out of 1st gear another 1 sided game Ballivor vs boardsmill: similar to the majority of the games in junior way to much of a gap in class ballivor easily Cortown vs slane: would fancy cortown here probly the closest game in junior this week. The winner will come from the ballivor carnaross game the rest are way behind CMAN1570 (Meath) - Posts: 56 - 31/07/2020 08:12:22 2285921 Link
St Marys v Kilbride. Only 1 winner here as Kilbride put themselves in with a shot of the KOs Drumconrath v Dunsany. The only debate is whether Drumconrath, Marys or Clonard will loose by the most. Drumconrath could get that award this week as Dunsany saunter on Moynalty v Slane. Slane had a good win last time while Moynalty are deflated with defeat this will be close but Moynalty may keep their faint hopes alive Cortown v St Vincents. Cortown are all shapes and sizes but try hard and Vincents will know they had a game as they pull away to be as good as in the semis Clonard v Ballivor Clonard will battle as Ballivor just nudged over Boardsmill will be close for awhile but Ballivor to pull away Boardsmill v Carnaross. The Mill came up just short and so carnaross are warned. Really they didn't need to be and will win easy Kilmainhamwood v St Ultans. Ultans make there bow and will tie up the Wood in Knots as the win easy glenny (Meath) - Posts: 1116 - 13/08/2020 20:35:35 2287467 Link

Seen ballivor play at the weekend,alot of people hav them as one of the favourites,i don't think they are good enough to win it, they hav 3 very lively forwards but after that they are average imo, royal1967 (Meath) - Posts: 293 - 16/08/2020 22:41:06 2287809 Link
Group A sorted as was expected with last Round show down between Dunsany and Kilbride... Hard one to call Group B Similiar story with another hard to call game between Carnaross and Ballivor Group C is as good as sorted as Vincents looks destined to top group but they have a bit of playing to do yet. If Slane could upset them but even so they would need Cortown to beat Moynalty to allow Slane through on head to head. Should Slane and Moynalty win Slane would need to win by 10. If that happened and Moynalty won by 12 Moynalty would slip through. Enough of the rubbish Vincents to win Group D last round show down between Ultans and Brigids Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 17/08/2020 10:38:15 2287851 Link
Odds on for a Ballivor v Vincents Final. Vincents got hard end of stick in 2018 when a few calls went against them could be bridemaids again Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 09/09/2020 09:08:32 2291245 Link
Replying To Brownepat: "Odds on for a Ballivor v Vincents Final. Vincents got hard end of stick in 2018 when a few calls went against them could be bridemaids again" Shaping up like that alright but a lot will depend on Kildalkey Hurlers being fit for Ballivor , But overall if they are & they have the players and a successful management team on the line to win the Junior A this year Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 09/09/2020 11:22:39 2291269 Link

Replying To Royalblufill: "I have seen both Dunsany and Vincent's this year - I think Dunsany will do the job!" I hope so. Jaysus, they've been through the ringer in finals. 5 times they've been beaten in the final in 18 years. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1374 - 09/09/2020 22:00:54 2291353 Link
I think I'm right in saying there the only club in meath not to win an adult championship royal1967 (Meath) - Posts: 293 - 10/09/2020 08:22:50 2291371 Link
Replying To Ratoath Royal: "I hope so. Jaysus, they've been through the ringer in finals. 5 times they've been beaten in the final in 18 years." True I was told that Dunsany are the only club in Meath never to win a 1st team Championship at Adult grade so a win would be long over due. They have come out of a very weak group and it will be interesting to see how they cope with their 1st real challenge Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 10/09/2020 09:24:14 2291378 Link
Semi Final week ahead of us who has everyone got? Vincent's & Dunsany tougher to predict of the two. Dunsany have been hitting big scores but haven't played any quality opposition and a hardened Vincent's team may be too shrewd for them. Wide pitch at HQ could work in Dunsanys favour. Winner will be hard bet. Vincent's by 2. Ballivor will go into this strong favourites after writing off Carnaross. If all hurlers are fit they should get over the semi final stage. Word around is young McBride could be back for Ultans which would be a massive boost. Ballivor by 9. royalgaaman (Meath) - Posts: 2 - 14/09/2020 08:01:03 2291932 Link
anyone any idea who could be relegated from inter this year? butterfly (Meath) - Posts: 112 - 15/09/2020 08:46:44 2292155 Link
I think Dunsany and Balivor should have enough, should be two cracking games. Always find the junior provides great excitement. On another note does anyone know why the Premier is taking so long to wrap up?. Some teams qualified for a final nearly a month ago and no fixture yet set? i know this is case in Colmcilles/Walt final. Jimmycricket (Meath) - Posts: 115 - 15/09/2020 09:24:38 2292161 Link

Jaysus whoever comes down will be a seriously strong team in the Junior next year. would be some fall from grace for Pats or Balinlough butterfly (Meath) - Posts: 112 - 15/09/2020 11:45:33 2292199 Link
Replying To butterfly: "Jaysus whoever comes down will be a seriously strong team in the Junior next year. would be some fall from grace for Pats or Balinlough" Wouldn't agree. There's at least four or five teams in junior equally as strong as Pats or Ballinlough or even stronger. Apart from Ballinabrackey and Trim, the intermediate is not strong. Clann na ngael and Moylagh were comfortable this year so that shows alot. The team that comes down from Senior will be a strong team next year as Senior has improved. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 594 - 15/09/2020 20:30:46 2292337 Link
