Na fianna will at minimum get a play off mark my words . You can't bully the higher powers of the gaa if possible they wouldn't be higher powers. It's scary that you support a club in Meath and are so worried about na fianna I've no ties to any

One would wonder at the need to amend the regulations of a competition that started at the end of July on the 25th of August.....and by coincidence is the date that the you....know...what hit the fan. I just hope somebody hasn't been a bold little boy or girl....there may be a hard copy out there.....so be careful. There are some smart people out there who can trace back every keystroke.

Going back to the matches that will be going ahead, the relegation games have also served up some crackers: Ballinbrackey v Skryne: Ballinabrackey This one is a bit one sided. The Bracks showed in each of the group games that they a good solid team, and apart from a second half dismanteling from the clear 2nd best team in the county over the last 4-5 years they have been a test for anyone. Beating Kells and pushing Tones all the way, losing by a single score. Skryne on the other hand, after a decent display against Colmcilles in Round 1, were torn a sunder by Ratoath in Round 2 and the actually outscore Moynalvey by 12 scores to 10 but concede 4 goals which really leaves you wondering how bad they actually are. Some slight tweaks defensively and they may be able to avoid the ultimate drop, however they won't avoid defeat in this game. Na Fianna v Senechalstown: (If it goes ahead) Senechalstown Will it Won't it happen???? An almighty mess up by the county board (shocker). As soon as Croke Pairc issued anything that was slightly different to what the County Board had themselves it should have been made crystal clear and in no uncertain terms as to what criteria was to be used. This should be been done and read out on the night of the draw being made in front of all delegates so that there could be none of this happening now. I think Na Fianna are slightly the better team here given what I've seen in games to date but all this messing around, not knowing who they will be playing and therefore how to prepare will have to take its toll. I think Senechalstown have not been disgraced in any of their games so far, although being a bit open at the back they are certainly well able to score and I think will win a very tight affair by one or two in the end. Na Fianna however are a good side and if they lose this, will not lose a second game. Moynalvey v Curraha: Curraha The pre-season favourites to go down have certainly shown they are far from finished, and only for a Ratoath meltdown could easily be sitting in a Quarter final of Keegan rather than relegation. O Sullivan and McLoughlan have been as efficient as ever in front of the posts, and defensively they have surprised a number of people with how compact and difficult to break down they have been. Curraha are also a team that can count themselves unlucky to be in relegation given how their group panned out. Narrowly beaten by Dunshaughlin and Na Fianna shows they ae by no means whipping boys, and with the array of attacking talent, if they can get a few early scores here should have enough to win this one. However if they get drawn into a dogfight and Moynalvey stay in touch then we could have an absolute belter of a game on our hands. Dunboyne v Kells: Dunboyne A game that could have been a Keegan cup final less than 4 years ago, now a relegation game. Kells an team that look in utter disarray at the moment. Showing none of the characteristics associated with them over the last few years like tough, dogged, hardy, clinical. And whilst Dunboyne aren't to dissimilar, in Lenihan they have a player that can (and will) possibly win this game on his own. I think Kells again won't lose a second game, however they are in serious danger of making the drop if they don't up their performances drastically in the next month ratlag (Meath) - Posts: 582 - 07/09/2023 10:34:55 2503387 Link 0 |

I will mark your words alright. I am not worried about Na Fianna, I am worried about them ruining the meath championship with silly appeals that they are not going to win. I see Meath GAA won their appeal with the Central Appeals Committee last night. Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 584 - 07/09/2023 11:07:51 2503393 Link 0 |

Colmcilles to beat Ashbourne, Tones to beat Simonstown, Summerhill to beat Trim and I really think Dunshaughlin are a good bet for the weekend at 6/1 (were 8/1) against Ratoath, think Gray is a massive lose but still should be a tight affair especially with Ratoaths injuries at the moment. redracoon (Meath) - Posts: 57 - 08/09/2023 14:56:30 2503533 Link 0 |
Your dreaming 6/1 in a 2horse race Bookies are not fools It's the biggest odds of all the quarters and your picking this one to go against the odds Ratoath by 7 minimum Awaywin (Meath) - Posts: 116 - 08/09/2023 15:29:27 2503536 Link 0 |
Colmcilles to Don/ash and tones to beat Simonstown by 4/5, Ratoath to edge Dunshaughlin by 2 and fancy Trim to cause the upset of the round and beat Summerhill by a single point! Royalroller (Meath) - Posts: 86 - 08/09/2023 18:07:41 2503552 Link 0 |
Simonstown v Tones, Simonstown by 4 Summerhill v Trim, Summerhill by 10 Dunsaughlin v Ratoath, Dunsaughlin by 2 Colmcilles v Don/Ash Cilles by 1 latouche25 (Meath) - Posts: 540 - 08/09/2023 18:59:38 2503554 Link 0 |
Don/Ash get the better of Cilles after a solid second half performance - game was five minutes away from being called off after the lights went oit RR (Meath) - Posts: 165 - 08/09/2023 21:54:22 2503558 Link 0 |

33/1 before the championship started for a reason. Some seemed to think it was worth a punt!

playing a quarter final of championship under lights is a disgrace in my opinion

The appeal will probably end up successful and they'll stay in the championship so this could be backfire. But the reality is minor success doesn't translate automatically. If my memory serves me I don't think they've won any under 20/21's lately. And do they have any lads who you're like he should be a Meath senior. Conlon, maybe Beakey as a keeper on the panel. Outside of that how many of their good minors even stared for Meath at under 20 nevermind senior.

I know things can happen, but it really isn't acceptable that floodlights can fail in the middle of a Senior Championship Quarter Final and the game delayed for nearly 30 minutes. Why was the game under lights in the first place? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 998 - 09/09/2023 11:13:08 2503581 Link 0 |
Cills just came up short against a very determined don/ash side, very entertaining game , with all the controversy leading up to the game , add in a floodlight failure with 5 minutes left and don/ash 1up, referee gave them time to get it sorted , more controversy. don /ash provided an electrician to assist the skryne club solve the problem and after 30 minutes the game resumed , better more organised team won out in the end
