Senior hurling champions are still TBD but all other championships are done and dusted which means the respective winners are now preparing to represent Meath in the various Leinster championships.
Summerhill are up against Killoe Young Emmets in Longford on Sunday week (November 2nd). Killoe Young Emmets beat O'Mahonys in Leinster in 2012 and in 2016 so hopefully Summerhill don't befall the same fate. If they win that tie, they probably would have been expecting to face Naas but they were beaten by Athy yesterday in the Kildare final. It'd be either them or Baltinglass of Wicklow in the quarter finals if they get over the Longford champions.
The winner of the senior hurling final replay will have two weeks to prepare for an away Leinster Intermediate quarter final against Wicklow senior champions, Carnew Emmets on November 8th. The Wicklow champions beat Ratoath last year and Trim in the 2022 final. Kilkenny champions, Danesfort, are on the other side of the draw. A win in that game would mean a Leinster semi final against Lusmagh of Offaly or Ballyfin of Laois.
Kilbride are away to Longford opponents as well on Saturday week. They'll travel to Pearse Park to play Ardagh Moydow in round 1 on Saturday week (November 1st). Win that, and it's a home tie against either Sallins of Kildare or the Carlow Intermediate champions Ballon or Grange (they'll replay their final next week).
Clann na nGael face Kilkenny Intermediate champions, Glenmore in Navan on Saturday week (November 1st). The Kilkenny champions have got the odd win in Leinster over the years so hopefully CnG don't take it lightly. A match away to Carlow junior champions, Fighting Cocks, will await them in the quarter final should they come through their round 1 tie.
Finally, for some reason, the Intermediate hurling champions are no longer in the Leinster Junior club championship, but have been shunted into a new Leinster Special Junior club championship along with the Wicklow Intermediate champions, the Longford senior champions and the European representatives. Not sure what the reasoning behind that was, but regardless, Kilskyre/Moylagh will play Amsterdam in that semi final on November 8th. They'd face either Aughrim or Longford Slashers in the final if they win that. The way they've performed, you'd expect that they should be winning that championship which would hopefully mean that next season's champions would be back in the Junior championship proper in 2026.
Best of luck to all the Meath representatives in their Leinster championships. Hope the celebrations are out of their system and there can be potentially more silverware for at least some clubs before the end of the year.

Kilskyre/moylagh as an independent team and not a club in there own right won't be representing Meath in Leinster . I think !!
I think its Rathmoylan who will repesent meath in that competition as Kilskyre/Moagh are barred as they are an amalgamation. They Still should have enough to win it.
Here was me thinking that the Leinster GAA website got the Intermediate winner wrong. Pity that Kilskyre/Moylagh can't participate. Presumably they would have been able to compete before Moylagh came under the Kilskyre umbrella. I suppose that makes it a bit more difficult given Rathmolyon may not exactly be up for a Leinster campaign.

I doubt Moylagh would appreciate you dismissing them as being "under the Kilskyre umbrella". It's a joint team fielded by 2 clubs.

How does this work with some of the Laois clubs? loads of amalgamations down through the years.

It depends on whether the club is a full amalgamation where 2 clubs become 1 (e.g. when Duleek & Bellewstown merged), or if it's still 2 seperate clubs who field as 1 together (which is the case with Moylagh/Kilskyre).
