PlKnow from experience that they're both very good teams. Not much between them but think na fianna might just shade it. Nice to see some new blood makin the business end

Moynalvey will derail the Na Fianna express

No i wouldn't write off Na Fianna at all, But having seen them twice in the last few weeks incl the SFC match V Tones, i dont think Tones could be as bad again and seen as they have reverted back to playing football as opposed to what went on that night i feel Tones experience will tell, Na fianna have been a breath of fresh air and play good open attractive football but i think its a bit soon yet to make the big breakthrough, Moynalvey will not stop na fianna in my opinion

when will the senior Q final fixtures be up with times dates and venues?

Second year in row the tones seem to have an easy route to the final. Cant see Skyrne, Senechelstown or Rathkenny causing them any trouble. I expect a repeat of last years final, O'Mahonys vs Tones with the Navan men to cruise to victory once again.

Does anybody know the proposed semi final pairings?

I think they could be:
Seneschalstown / Rathkenny v Navan O'Mahonys / St. Peter's Dunboyne / Summerhill

Na Fianna / Moynalvey v Wolfe Tones / Skryne

Jackhacket you are correct, Tones V Na Fianna will be interesting with O Mahoneys to cruise to another title, No point in repeating my self but when you see Seneschalstown, Rathkenny, Moynalvey & Skryne in Senior Q finals it only backs up the fact of how poor football is in this county. Before you fly of the handle i mean that O mahoneys would beat any of these teams without getting out of third gear and as i said before the hoops are a very average side, by that i mean that the Seneschalstown or Tones teams of 3-7 years ago would easily beat this current team

I think Tones extremely defensive team and can be easily opened up by fast forwards which Moynalvy and na Fianna have , Na Fianna in fial versus NOM

If I was a Na Fianna player I wouldn't get too carried away by the victories so far. Simonstown for example were very naive in the way they defended against the wind in the first half and the game was over at half time. Na Fianna are a good team that play good attacking football but I think there defense will not hold up against the better teams while their attack will be suffocated if the proper defensive tactics are employed.

Any predictions for Dunboyne v Summerhill today? Winner gets a tough game with O Mahonys

Is it looking like another tones v nom final?

royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 08/09/2013 18:08:38    1477657

Summerhill won, absolute cracker!

Im gonna go for a NOM -v- NA Fianna final in senior and Ratoath -v- Clan NA Gael in the Intermediate

Senior is tough one to call, NOM are out in front but with a bit of luck I think we can take them, we would be one of the few teams left who wouldnt have any fear of NOM or Tones, In the Inter , I think it will be Cilles V Cilles, Kells are V Strong and I dont think Ratoath will be physically able to for them and Graham Reilly is on fire and no inter defender can stop him, Only way is to cut off supply , Junior is Kilmainhams to lose

summerhillof69 (Meath) - Posts: 228 - 10/09/2013 12:16:37    1479066

I think Cortown, Drumbaragh and Kilmainham all have a decent chance at the junior

NOM to sweep the senior!

Are the Semi finals due for weekend of Sept 28/29 or the following week Oct 5/6th?

Right biggest weekend of Football in the County this year, Dreams smashed Hopes Risen, Women and even men may shed a tear or two Cuts and bruises swatted away like an annoying fly as the GAA men from the Clubs the real Football teams hit the knock out stages, Walk overs a thing of the past (We hope) and away we go.

Senior
Friday Night Flyer
Tones v Skryne. Neither really have much of a hope of being the top Dog but both are in the top 4 or 5. Tones may have a dieing kick in them Skryne are always there or thereabouts and can like a few years ago get on a run and do the Bizz. Not this year as Tones get the nod.

Junior B
Seneschalstown v Pauls
Dads army are in bonus land and this could be a last hurrah in more ways than one (you read it here 1st), but that is not to say they are done for 2013. The big pitch in Ashbourne is worth a few points to Seneschalstown as the Pauls are out of Kilberry for the 1st time in a while. No matter where it Sen will win on the way to maybe just maybe outright glory.

Relegation
Slane v St Patricks
The biggest problem Slane have and the 1st is getting 15 lads out if they do that Pats will be no push over and another big problem for the Slane men Pats have used a lot at Senior level and are good enough to stay in this grade but Slane will push them but not enough Pats to win by a few.

Junior C S/F
Dunboyne v Blackhall
Dunboyne to win at a stroll and win the Competition out

I think its between na fianna,summerhill,nom and seneschalstown for the title! Summerhill looking very sharp after last performance and nom will surely be there, there abouts!

You are playing it safe there with those selections, I think it will be one of O mahoneys, Summerhill, rathkenny, seneschalstow, Tones, Skryne, Na fianna or Moynalvey for outright honours......
