Replying To Meathooooo: "You're getting there! And you're correct on quiet a bit. Competition Logistics are the job of CB. I still firmly believe the number of Gaa Clubs is huge factor in poor participation level, game quality etc etc. It's common sense. Regional is best way forward." If regional is to work, there has to be alot of work done to ensure it is a worthwhile change. The regional as a stand alone at end of year is clearly not gaining much interest and it could be argued many of the best smaller club players don't even get involved given the fixtures were midweek under lights at end of season. Participation is not down to having too many clubs or the smaller club model. I think if you eliminated a number of smaller clubs, the drop off would be more. You seem to want to go with an elitist method which is essentially against the principles of the GAA which is about community and representing your parish. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 594 - 19/06/2024 21:06:39 2553094 Link
The Intermediate championship is definitely as wide open as it has ever been. Duleek are yet to hit form and definitely struggling at the moment, Meath Hill are hot and cold, Moynalvey are tipping away, St Pats the same. It's definitely as wide open as it has ever been and will definitely be a few shock results this year. Judging on league (still 5 weeks out from championship) O'Mahonys are competing at the highest level which should stand to them with St Michael's and Meath Hill the best of the intermediate bunch in Division 2. A lot of work can be done in the next 5 weeks and can be a massive help to the teams struggling to find form at the moment. Very hard to pick a winner SillySimonsOpinion (Meath) - Posts: 64 - 27/06/2024 23:34:31 2555291 Link
Senior: Hard to look past Summerhill, rathoath. Skryne could do well this year and watch out for the Bracks, but lack of fire power might let them down eventually. Intermediate: O'Mahonies, duleek, Oldcastle and Pats will be in the mix- come the business end. Ballivor motoring smoothly also so could cause an upset. Junior: Slane and Ballinlough looking decent so far this year, both are young sides. Dunderry to stay down, junior is a dog fight. Champoking2018 (Meath) - Posts: 3 - 04/07/2024 13:45:29 2556902 Link
Senior- Summerhill & Ratoath head and shoulder above the rest. There are a few teams that could catch one of them on the hop in a knockout game if all goes their way. Dunshaughlin, Ashbourne maybe Dunboyne and Tones. Could any of these teams put two back to back performances in to beat both shill and Rtoath to win the SFC i doubt it but if the two favs meet early in the championship it could make it interesting. Intermediate - Any number of teams in the hunt here. Navan despite the league table haven't been completely off the pace at Div 1 level which should stand to them. Duleek probably lacked that bit of guile and experience to get over the line the last few years, don't think you can address that with young players no matter how good they are. Could see somebody like Moynalvey carried over the line by Harnan and O'Sullivan. Wide open. mlc800 (Meath) - Posts: 61 - 05/07/2024 10:52:04 2557026 Link

Senior - Has to be Summerhill or Ratoath again, I'll go for Summerhill just. Intermediate - Duleek or Pats the favourites for me. I think Meat Hill could be a dark horse and are due to face your fancied Ballivor in the QF should the groups go to plan. All not well in Ballivor camp is the word around this side of the county. Junior - Slane looking strong but will have to go for Clann na Gael. Flying high in Div 3 and are a intermediate team plying their trade at junior and hopefully prove that this year LoyaleRoyale (Meath) - Posts: 13 - 07/07/2024 15:32:36 2557403 Link

Senior is probably the least open if we are honest. I will go with Senior: Summerhill or maybe Dunboyne. Don Ash to have a say. Inter: Anyone's guess. Could be any of 7 or 8 teams. If they can get out of the blocks fast it could be quick return for Moynalvey. So going to go for them with St Pats the closest challengers and Meath Hill having a big say. Duleek have a bit of work to do but I would never write them off Junior: Another exciting one. Ballinlough, Clann na Gael and Slane look best placed. On recent form will go with Ballinlough but if the hurling goes well that could be a problem Junior B: Surely Moynalty will finally cross the line? It will not be easy though. Like Dunsany this would be a popular win if they can do it seasiderblues (Meath) - Posts: 353 - 20/07/2024 09:27:48 2560146 Link
