Replying To boeder:  "Looking like Nobber and Oldcastle through from Group A with the winner of Meath Hill and Ballinlough in Rd 5 joining them.

In Group B Castletown and Trim are qualified with the winner of Rd 5 tie finishing top of the group. Winner of Michaels and Bracks to get the 3rd qualification spot.

Walterstown look like they will top group C with 2 of Dunderry, Blackhall and Duleek/Bellewstown joining them.

Who will take home Mattie McDonnell this year is very very hard to call, I look forward to watching it unfold!"
If walterstown lose to bhg they'll miss out on head to head assuming dunderry and duleek beat dunboyne and ashbourne 2nd teams in the last round of fixtures

Ballinabrackey coming back into contention as expected.
Dunderry won't win it out, too many key players missing, they're in weakest group also.
Trim are inconsistent but on their day, they're as good as anyone.

Oldcastle v Drumbaragh - Oldcastle
Meath Hill v Ballinlough - Ballinlough
Nobber v Kilmainham - Nobber
Nobber and Oldcastle will come from A with little fuss. Its then a shoot out between Ballinlough and Meath Hill for the last spot. Giving Ballinlough the nod if P Byrne starts.
Castletown v Trim - Trim
Michaels v Ballinabrackey - Bracks
Syddan v Bective - Bective
In B, Castletown & Trim safe. Game between these 2 could go either way. The Micks V Ballinabrackey game a knockout match. Corn an Boinne has given Ballinabrackey momentum.
Black Hall v Walterstown - Walterstown
Dunboyne v Dunderry - Dunderry
Ashbourne v Duleek - Duleek
Dunderry and Duleek safe due to superior points difference to Walterstown leaving Walterstown v Black Hall game as winner takes all in unless Dunderry slip up against Dunboyne. Duleek will have too much for a weakened Ashbourne. Promoted Walterstown should have enough to overcome an improving Black Hall side.

Braces for me to finally make senior. What a achievement for the tiny parish that borders 3 counties.

Bracks won't win it, were pushed hard by very poor Syddan team at the weekend, too reliant on 3 or 4 top players, Juicy went off on Sunday with a nasty looking ankle injury. Will be a huge loss if he misses the quarter final if they get there.

Whoever wins intermediate will be coming plummeting straight back from Senior. If Ballinabrackey are people's favourites god help us. They are extremely limited a long with the majority of the others tipped to win it like Oldcastle (who are stuttering badly in the group) and Dunderry.

Huge loss indeed. But I'm hopeful. What else can we be only hopeful, on another note juicy should have been playing a hell lot longer with Meath than he was.

That might happen but the achievement of getting to senior for such a tiny parish will be soooooo worth it. Come on the bracks

Haven't Bracks Botteled it on a few occasions in the last few years ? Hard to see what's changed . Injury to their top player. Trim look like they could finally do it this year ,with Dunderry on the brink .

I don't believe in the Bracks being Bottlers.....I just don't think they have ever been good enough really!! Play way to defensively and negatively for my liking and rely far to heavily on the likes of Juicy, Carroll and Quinn, an injury to any of them and the Bracks will be bet!!
For me its Trim or Dunderry with Oldcastle or Castletown capable of pulling off a shock against either of them on their day!!

A club like Trim with the huge amount of numbers and area should be winning it but dual clubs do struggle, Castletown have done very well however they don't have enough quality to win it in my opinion, should be some great games in knockouts as all teams are fairly well matched.

predicted q/f's

preliminary q/f
bracks v walterstown

q/f's
nobber v bracks/walterstown

Trim V Meath Hill ( think they just might win a dogfight against ballinlough )

Dunderry v Oldcastle

Castletown v Duleek/bellewstown

Just my opinion, i think the draw forma is right
