Replying To latouche25: "Predictions for the quarter finals, Gael Colmcille v Tones, Colmcilles by 6. Tones an average team. Trim v Na Fianna, Trim my tip to go all the way, putting up big scores. Summerhill v Skryne, probably the closest game, Summerhill have enough to progress. Ratoath v Moynalvy, Ratoath by 10 to big and strong with match winners everywhere" Kells by 8 points, Tones are just average Trim get their first proper game since coming up, Be interesting and close, Na Fianna to edge it Summerhill to just about get over Skryne Ratoath begin the procession to being crowned kings with an exhibition match Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1494 - 07/09/2022 15:14:55 2439942 Link

How are Clonard getting a quarter final? Nice pitch ok, but have done nothing to work on a clubhouse and were unable to complete a competition this year, surely other clubs more deserving? Meathgaalad (Meath) - Posts: 171 - 07/09/2022 16:50:25 2439957 Link
Replying To Meathgaalad: "How are Clonard getting a quarter final?

Surely Summerhill was the appropriate venue for Trim Na Fianna game. stillaroyal (Meath) - Posts: 225 - 07/09/2022 18:17:13 2439962 Link
Replying To brian: "Your kells bias shining through there latouche Tones beat Kells last year at the same stage i believe (open to correction) and have been playing well again this year Ratoath will be hard stopped, maybe Summerhill will be the closest to them" Yes you are being corrected, Kells drew with the Tones last year in the first round, Kells humiliated them in the feis cup final. We drew with them again this year in the league and we played the entire game with 14 players and without several starter's. Tones don't have the bottle to beat Kells. latouche25 (Meath) - Posts: 540 - 07/09/2022 19:23:23 2439969 Link
Replying To Meathgaalad: "How are Clonard getting a quarter final? Nice pitch ok, but have done nothing to work on a clubhouse and were unable to complete a competition this year, surely other clubs more deserving?" Clonard pitch is probably the best pitch in Meath now. Best stewards, best parking facilities ( much more space than Trim and other big so called club facilities ) To take a match away from them because they are struggling at the present time is very unjust. Clonard will bounce back and are a credit to all small clubs in Meath for what they have produced down there regarding facilities. Their underage is going very well so they will be back competing in no time at Junior level. Brilliant fixture for the supporters and as a Bracks Man I will certainly travel to it. thelutch (Meath) - Posts: 1073 - 08/09/2022 07:53:17 2439985 Link
Replying To Analyst: "Because the 4 teams i listed have been poor over a number of years, Dubboyne have been poor this year but bad and all as they are they are a tad better than the 4 i named i think" Did Simonstown not hammer Ballinabrakey last year in a knock out game and easily beat Tones in a Feis cup final towards the end of the year....

What a bonkers statement, there is nowhere near the parking facilities Trim have to host a game. It is out of the way for both Trim and Na fianna supporters and majority of people that aren't from Bracks. The fact is there is not the proper dressing rooms, correct me if I'm wrong but no showering facilities?? And 0 cover if needed for any fans! Game should be in Summerhill or Rathmolyon Meathgaalad (Meath) - Posts: 171 - 08/09/2022 13:34:43 2440024 Link

Is it not that bit harder for Clonard to bounce back now that their best young player is playing for Ballinabrackey? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 998 - 08/09/2022 13:47:16 2440029 Link

Yeah i think Kells championship experience and success will give them the edge over an "average" Tones as you described them. Kells have been hugely impressive in beating a formidable Simonstown outfit and Ashbourne before not showing their hand v Ratoath.

Replying To BigJoe14: "Is it not that bit harder for Clonard to bounce back now that their best young player is playing for Ballinabrackey?" Who's that Joe? I know they lost Flanagan to Summerhill, but didn't think they'd another player coming through? brian (Meath) - Posts: 1973 - 08/09/2022 14:24:05 2440034 Link
Replying To Maestro: "Did Simonstown not hammer Ballinabrakey last year in a knock out game and easily beat Tones in a Feis cup final towards the end of the year...." Was that knock out game the relegation game after the lost all three group games ? One of those Championship matches was a double digit defeat to Tones ?

And when you see latouche on the loose, the Analyst is never far behind! Two of a kind. Toney (Meath) - Posts: 298 - 08/09/2022 15:24:26 2440046 Link

Replying To Analyst: "Was that knock out game the relegation game after the lost all three group games ? One of those Championship matches was a double digit defeat to Tones ?" Ye and once they got all their players back from injury later in the year they very easily dispatched Tones by 9 points in a final. Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 584 - 08/09/2022 17:09:26 2440061 Link

Replying To Maestro: "Ye and once they got all their players back from injury later in the year they very easily dispatched Tones by 9 points in a final." And they have pushed on since, how did Tones get on after that crushing defeat ? Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1494 - 08/09/2022 20:50:33 2440077 Link
Replying To Meathgaalad: "Niall Smullen to Bracks from Clonard this year" Very good of Ballinabrackey to take Clonards best young player off their hands. Must be a big commute between the two clubs. BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 998 - 09/09/2022 07:37:24 2440084 Link
Replying To BigJoe14: "Very good of Ballinabrackey to take Clonards best young player off their hands. Must be a big commute between the two clubs." Don't think he is playing a whole lot with them might hav started the last game (dead rubber) but think only came on for a few minutes in the other 2 championship games royal1967 (Meath) - Posts: 293 - 09/09/2022 08:50:42 2440092 Link

Clonard's pitch is good, but "the best pitch in Meath" is ridiculous. It's the same quality as every other new sand based pitch in Meath. To say their facilities are a credit is a stretch too, they've some of the worst dressing rooms in the county (certainly the worst new ones) and unless they've bought and surfaced more land since I was there earlier this year they certainly do not have a huge amount of parking.
