I heard from a reliable source in Ashbourne that Deegan is staying put.

Two young minors looking move from my own club Dunboyne to Ratoath I believe, Sean Towey and David McDonald. Hoping it doesn't go through, could be losses in the future! Especially to a rival Meathgaa5 (Meath) - Posts: 339 - 20/12/2016 14:40:26 1941175 Link 0 |

Just wondering will Adam Flanagan Leave Clonard this year to play in the senior championship. Heard a good few senior clubs in the area looking for him . Hope he stays with Clonard . Clonard relegated from Junior A last year Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 20/12/2016 18:09:50 1941243 Link 0 |

Probably only club that would be of benefit would be Ballinabrackey, I remember the days they played together, clonatd/Ballinabrackey. Other would be longwood, cant really see any other logical club apart from na fianna. The other ones bordering him are either in Kildare Westmeath or Offaly

Never will that happen, its only when you leave your home you truly appreciate it . I was born a Meath man, I have lived my life as a Meath man, and I will die as a Meath man, and a bloody proud one at that too. More proud Tha some of those still living in county who dont bother going to games etc or are more interested in man u or the pool. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 20/12/2016 19:28:43 1941273 Link 0 |

Na fianna be great place for him, regarding senior football there always about in busy end of the year plus can match most teams in meath. Longwood very lucky not to go back to junior A football last year. mikebasset2011 (Meath) - Posts: 154 - 20/12/2016 19:32:29 1941274 Link 0 |

Yes I agree looks like it could be between Summerhill and Na Fianna if he wants to play Senior this year. Ideal replacement for Gillespie or Lewis . But Clonard will want to go back Junior A. I don't think it should matter whether he plays junior or senior for Meath terms .

Agree also. Yes Summerhill would be a good side to go as well.

To play or manage them? I heard there looking for a manager. Didn't heard that.

Very hard to be on a county panel if you are playing Junior B to be honest.

yes you are probably right but I hope he makes the right decision and wish him well. I think he could a big player at County level this year under new management as will a lot of the younger players coming through.

Adam Flanagan also plays hurling with Killyon. Is the rule in place that if you are with a dual club like Na Fianna then you have to play hurling with them also? Not sure if such a rule exists in Meath. If he wanted to keep hurling then Summerhill might be a better option.

My understanding of the rule is that if you play hurling for a hurling only club, you must play football for a football only club rather than a dual club. I'm not sure how rigorously that is enforced though

for the good of adam he should move and he is running out of time. There is no way John Mac would have been the player he was unless he moved. To be honest also would he dominate playing against Donaghmore? Not a chance. pretender (Meath) - Posts: 358 - 21/12/2016 13:04:12 1941403 Link 0 |

i'm not sure such a rule exists. it's rarely enforced if it does. For example you have lads playing hurling with Omahonys (daul) and football with Bective as well as lads playing hurling with Dunderry (Dual) and football with Bective. in this case, my understand is the Bective lads are isolated hurlers and can "pick" the hurling club they want to join. however, where it gets grey is if an o'mahonys player wanted to play football with Bective but still wanted to continue hurling with o'mahonys. I'm not sure what rules covers that scenario (probably no specific rules unless club(s) object) onehoponesolo (Meath) - Posts: 21 - 21/12/2016 14:25:12 1941428 Link 0 |

For a player like Flanagan, who is already established as a Meath senior player, I'm not sure if playing Junior B would make much difference. As it stands he'll be training and playing from November to July with the Meath team anyway, playing the odd match for Clonard. That's not too different to the situation with a county player with a senior club. 90% of his football will be at the top level training for a county team.

i would not see Flanagan as being established by any extent and i think a move could only be good for him.
