Replying To Viking66:  "What was the reason he was going to school in Meath? Was he right on the border?"
His club Brownstown and the Archerstown area would be right next to the border, the nearest secondary school to him would have been Athboy. I'd imagine he was invited to go to Mullingar CBS for the hurling too, Adrian Moran, Micheal Lawlor and co are driving it there big time and making great strides at A level at all age grades.

Senior B
Pollard v crookedwood: pollard will struggle if Darragh McCormack is out but should have enough to get over the wood by the end of it
Plunketts v Brownstown: at the start of the year I would have said that plunketts would dispose of Brownstown easily, now I am tipping Brownstown to get the nod by 2
Ringtown v Bridget's: ringtown to win by 2-3 here


Gaels v Clonkill: clonkill were impressive in the last 2 rounds and will have another dimension with Luke, peader and Jordi smyth back into the fold, can see a clonkill win by 3 here blowing the championship right back open

Delvin v daltons: daltons to consolidate their senior status here and relegate delvin

Castletown v Raharney: game of the weekend here, Raharney to make it 4/4 and put themselves in the driving seat to qualify direct for the final

Just for hurling don't agree with it myself but it's nothing new I suppose

Its a credit to them. Marys are a proper GAA school and are still good academically at the same time.

Brownstown pitch would be about 500 metres from Meath border. Other hurling club parishes to touch Meath border would be Raharney, LLG and Castlepollard out of interest.

Thanks. Explains why so many go to school in Athboy. Same as so many Brigids lads going to Marist College.
