Bookies were fools when they had St Colmcilles at 9/1 to beat Ratoath….

Well done to the county Board for anticipating the heatwave and having matches in the evening. I always felt it was wrong to have big inter County matches on in the afternoon during a heatwave. Dangerous for all involved. Pity Croke Park officials dont think of participants. To hell with TV demands Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 553 - 09/09/2023 14:36:34 2503588 Link 0 |
Well done to don/ash. Good entertaining game. Bryan menton could still do a job for Meath. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 09/09/2023 15:50:00 2503595 Link 0 |
Doubt it's anything to do with the weather, they rarely have games earlier that 5 on a Saturday anyway.

Big win for The Tones yesterday, they will still fancy their chances in this championship. thelutch (Meath) - Posts: 1073 - 10/09/2023 10:41:50 2503640 Link 0 |
You might want to reconsider your rankings, they were way off.... If they win their next game you can call them the 3rd worst team in meath. Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 584 - 10/09/2023 13:09:17 2503649 Link 0 |

Very unfortunate for Dunshaughlin to go out like that. I said Dunshaughlin at 8/1 was a great bet for a punter during the week. A goal 4 mins into injury time. If Summerhill can find better form than they did today i'd definitely fancy them to go all the way! redracoon (Meath) - Posts: 57 - 10/09/2023 20:59:32 2503679 Link 1 |
What do you think now?

I remember a time when Ratoath were accused of lacking bottle..... We absolutely stole that and will be dumped out by Tones again if we perform like that again. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1374 - 10/09/2023 21:08:07 2503681 Link 6 |
Well - we have more than a 2 horse race now!!! After the weekend fixtures, Summerhill and Tones look most impressive Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 515 - 10/09/2023 21:15:26 2503682 Link 0 |
The Meath Senior Championship is absolute muck, Ratoath and Dunshaughlin was some of the worst football you'll ever see. A point each at half time.. Ratoath managed 3 points by the 45th min. Mad scenes at the end though. hyperache (Meath) - Posts: 254 - 10/09/2023 23:19:22 2503690 Link 3 |
Outside of the shooting in the first half it was actually quite a good and open game. Normally 0-01 to 0-01 you would think it was negative 15 behind the ball, but Ratoath left probably 1-05 or 106 out there and Dunshaughlin missed an easy 4 or 5 points as well, all from inside the 'scoring zone' so to say it was one of the worst games ever I don't think is fair, it was one of the worst shooting displays ever in the first half. The second half was an excellent half of football, Dunshaughlin dominated probably the first 17-20 mins and after that then Ratoath took over, clawed their way back into the game and absolutely robbed it at the death. They will definitely need to up their performance for Tones in 2 weeks, but lets not make this about Ratoath playin badly, Dunshaughlin were excellent yesterday and will come very close to winning Keegan in the next 3-5 years if they don't lose lads to emigration

Stole it or poor game management by dunsaughlin, take your pick, dunsaughlin had this in the bag but spurned 2 great chances near the end to close it out, their goalkeeper taking time out to readjust his foot wear in injury time , David gough is no fool and adds on another minute for time wasting in which ratoath strike the killer blow, cracks appearing in ratoath but good champions find a way, Better team on the night lost, Wolfe tones will be encouraged .

Very quiet journey home, through Ratoath too! Two things I thought made the difference. Their bench was a lot more influential than ours and the difference in experience was decisive. We made poor decisions with the game at our mercy while they stayed calm and found a way to win it. They have done that a few times in recent years in fairness. Maybe this was the chance to catch them and they will shake themselves down for Tomes, but they didn't look like champions elect never mind Leinster contenders. Anyway, light years away from the relegation nightmare and much to look forward to. Well done lads, great year. aghref (Meath) - Posts: 150 - 11/09/2023 10:14:41 2503727 Link 1 |
Costello and Kinsella were immense in the second half. Kinsella has to be a starter for Meath next year, he is that good. But both players could have sealed the game but missed great chances - they may even have worked a goal chance with their opportunities. Dunshaughlin played great stuff 15 mins after half time but they just left the door open and Ratoath kept the scoreboard ticking over. A bit more experience and Dunshaughlin would have seen it out - but that experience will come with time. Add in Conor Grey and this team should challenge in the next 3 years. I thought the first half was interesting - with the set up of the team and how they built up. It was tactical. Not poor football. The only thing that was poor was the shot selection of a few players.
