Predictions Thursday Group A Kildalkey v Longwood Kildalkey too strong, impressive in leage final, despite missing a few regulars. Longwood will put it up to them. Kildalkey to win by 8. Friday Group B Trim v Dunderry Forget about league form Trim will come out strong. Dunderry will be confident with their progress. Trim to win by 7. Group B Killyon v Kilmessan Killyon going backwards. Kilmessan growing stronger. Kilmessan to win by 10+ Group B Navan v Na Fianna This is a tricky one, but Na Fianna probably have the qualities to win this one. Na Fianna by 2 points. Saturday Group A Clann na Ngael v Blackhall Gaels Very hard to call this one. Draw Monday Group A Ratoath v Kiltale Another difficult call. Both missing players with football.

Some clubs being punished for having lads on a successful Meath football team. Feels like the senior games should have been pushed out so below players werent missing for their clubs.

All above clubs would only love to play first Round with them lads. Meathgaafan25 (Meath) - Posts: 12 - 07/07/2025 07:08:34 2624040 Link

Move the games and there's a risk of the other clubs having two rounds played (should Meath win) before these four even swing a stick. That also has a drip down affect for those with second teams. Kilmessan and Kildalkey could stack second teams for IHC if no SHC this week. There's also very little space in the calendar once the football championship gets up and running too. County board at very start of the years said that unless there was exceptional circumstances, games wouldn't be moved and if they were, they had to be played by the following Wednesday anyway. So it makes sense to just leave as is and have the four clubs play. I doubt it's going to have a massive impact tbh, it's not like Kildalkey, Ratoath and Kilmessan won't qualify out of the groups.

Group A Kildalkey v Longwood Longwood will fight but fade away. Kildalkey by 9. Clann na nGael v Blackhall Gaels Can never tell which version of Blackhall you're going to get, especially early on. CNG by 3. Ratoath vs Kiltale Two pretty solid SHC teams with plenty of young talent and potential off the benches. Leaning towards the champions. Ratoath by 2 Group B Trim v Dunderry 22 points between them last year, wouldn't stun me massively if it was the same or more again. Trim by 15 Killyon v Kilmessan Only one winner here, despite what those in Killyon might say. Kilmessan by 8 O'Mahonys v Na Fianna Agreed with original poster that it's probably the trickier one to call in Group B. NOM beaten fairly well in most Div 2 games but were comfortable themselves with their extended panel in Div 5. Draw. IHC quickpicks Kilskyre/Moylagh vs St Pats K/M by a cricket score. Drumree vs Boardsmill Drumree by 2 Kildalkey vs Ashbourne Ashbourne by 1 with O'Sullivan back fit Gaeill Colmcille vs Wolfe Tones Evenly matched panels - Draw Trim 2 vs Dunboyne Dunboyne by 15+ Rathmolyon v Kilmessan 2 Rathmolyon by 13 RR (Meath) - Posts: 177 - 08/07/2025 20:11:04 2624487 Link
IHC quickpicks Kilskyre/Moylagh vs St Pats K/M by 15 points + Drumree vs Boardsmill Drumree by 5 Kildalkey vs Ashbourne Very tight, Draw Gaeill Colmcille vs Wolfe Tones GC to win by 3 points Trim 2 vs Dunboyne Dunboyne by 10+ Rathmolyon v Kilmessan 2 Rathmolyon by 15+ CrookedSticks (Fermanagh) - Posts: 15 - 08/07/2025 21:46:25 2624500 Link
Hard to be to excited by this competition until its rejigged hopefully next year, ill look in again on round 4. dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 869 - 08/07/2025 23:03:13 2624515 Link
Round 1 is a waste of everyones time. Ratoath V Kiltale is the only game that matters. BHG V CNG may be close but who cares. The other 4 games we could be looking at a combined winning total of 60+ But at least teams get more competitive games. mlc800 (Meath) - Posts: 70 - 09/07/2025 06:42:47 2624535 Link
No games really matter in round 1 just a continuation of a league. dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 869 - 09/07/2025 14:17:37 2624633 Link
Replying To dickie10: "No games really matter in round 1 just a continuation of a league." agree, only game that may be competitive is the Ratoath Kiltale, but both will be missing player, both will qualify out of the group, and both won't give a jot about the result come the end of the round robin. Unfortunate, that the county players are not available but there's very little space to maneouvre in the current structure. hurlingcowboy101 (Meath) - Posts: 35 - 10/07/2025 10:07:37 2624765 Link
Two absolute beatings to start the tournaments last night anyway. Tonight's should be somewhat closer you'd hope. RR (Meath) - Posts: 177 - 11/07/2025 09:36:10 2624929 Link
Unfortunate that this is the excuse of a competition we have for senior hurling championsip, the preseason cup games and leagues are more cut throat than this thing. any wonder meath county senior team gets swalowed up and spat out against likes of donegal and london, next year it could be armagh and cavan beating us dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 869 - 11/07/2025 10:49:45 2624939 Link

No surprises in Round 1. Was surprised that Clann na nGael were beaten (not a great game to watch). Ratoath impressive with 14 men. Roll on Rd2. CrookedSticks (Fermanagh) - Posts: 15 - 17/07/2025 15:03:07 2626273 Link
