Can You See Past Kiltale In The 2019 Championship?

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


The case is simply that, until a Meath team wins the Intermediate All-Ireland club championship, they won't play in the senior club championship.
Same with the junior championship. If Kiltale were to win the All Ireland, Meath's Intermediate hurling champions would still play in the junior championship until a Meath team won that (Carlow and Westmeath's intermediate champions still play in the Leinster junior hurling championship despite their senior champions playing in the Leinster senior championship).
The club hurling championships have absolutely nothing to do with the level of the intercounty teams.

Apart from Kiltale in Leinster, can we see any team in Meath put up a decent show in this years championship at all? Longwood did their bit already, in what was a good game. Surely there is a team that could push them?

''James Andrews, Ryan Andrews, Ger Dwane, Colm McGrath, David Murtagh (0-1), James Toher, Sean McGee, Damo McGee (0-6), Dylan Farrell, Ian Birmingham(0-2),Peter Farrell, Mikie Cole (1-1), Neil Heffernan (0-2), Brian Dowling (0-1) Mikie Cullen''

Don't see many missing apart from Douglas and Dimmy H from this anyway, unless theres a few more?

Charlie Ennis and Luke Moran, both inter county seniors in past 2 years. Conor Quigley and Cian Lee, 6/15 is a lot!

I still can't see them landing a blow at all. Ennis is a good keeper at the same time, could fill Mcganns boots next year in the sticks for Meath.

I know, I don't really see them beating kiltale either but I think they are second best team by a good bit, if they can get rid of a few week links (slow players) they'll do well!
Shocking against Blackhall due to attitude, Blackhall deserved a win!

Group A
Kiltale V Killyon: expect Kiltale to make light work of this poor Killyon team. Kiltale by 10+

Kildalkey v Dunboyne: Kildakey poor this year but Dunboyne worse, and certainty to go down. Kildalkey should use this as a confidence boost. Kildakey by 8

Ratoath v Longwood: Could be the most entertaining of the lot. I'm going to say a draw, but could see it going either way.

Group B
Trim v Navan;: Trim need this game after a poor outing against Blackhall. Navan seem to have thrown in the towel. Trim by 10+

Na Fianna v Boardsmill: Na Fianna seem to be going well, and I fancy them to top this group. Again, should make light work of the 'Mill.

Blackhall beat Kilmessan 2-13 to 1-13. Sorry sight to see Kilmessan go so downhill. To think they had beat Kiltale last year is crazy. Were a good team to watch over the years.

You're being very selective with those claims - Luke Moran was a sub in the first two games and Quigley came on against BHG. Cian Lee is on their 2nd team.

Not sure how Kilmessan are set-up is helping them.

Having Shane Brennan in full back seems a waste to me and they have Joey Keena spending most of his time around midfield/half back line, he should be a lot closer to the opposition goals, they don't have enough scoring forwards as it is.

Kiltale will win at least 2 more championships before Trim take over.

Well done to Blackhall on a deserved win. Had they luck on their side this year they would be as good as qualified now.

Not being selective at all, Luke Moran has been in England since before the championship has started and returns next week, Conor Quigley came on in injury time and Cian Lee has played one second team game due to playing League of Ireland football, but will feature heavily for Trim seniors soon.

And be playing instead of who?

Kilmessan very poor last night. Resorted to dirty play in the final 20 minutes. Bad refereeing too.

Senior and Intermediate Semi/Quarter Finalists as good as all known in Hurling Championships with a Round to go and other than Drumree v Tones game to decide 4th team in IHC A only a bit of jockeying for places left to play for

Assuming it's the same as last year (which was set well in advance, despite some conspiracy theories about Kildalkey somehow changing the draw at the last minute....) it'll be 1st in Group B vs. 4th in Group A, winner plays 1st in Group A. and it'll be 2nd in Group B vs. 3rd in Group A, winner plays 2nd in Group A.

So:
QF1: A4 Vs B1
QF2: A3 Vs B2

SF1: Kiltale Vs QF1 winner
SF2: A2 Vs QF2 Winner
