Meath Clubs In Leinster 2025 - 1 Like(s)
Not sure why anyone is surprised. I've said numerous times that senior club football has generally been poor at provincial level, one reason being that there is usually a massive spread of challengers for the senior championship in the county so the quality of our champions is often less than other counties that have much fewer challengers. In the past 5 seasons in Meath, we've had four different winners (Summerhill x 2, Dunshaughlin, Ratoath and Wolfe Tones). In Kildare, they've had just four winners since 2010 (Moorefield x 5, Naas x 4, Sarsfields x 4, Athy x 3). Summerhill also lost to Naas by 10 two years ago.
It's 16 seasons now since the Meath senior champions advanced by more than one round in Leinster. In that time, our champions have managed victories over the champions of Longford (once), Wexford (twice), Offaly (twice) and Louth (once). It's always been the case even when Meath football was at it's peak. Indeed, our senior champions' best performances outside the county have been when the county team has been comparatively weak (i.e. Dunshaughlin in 02/03, Walterstown in 1983/84 & 1980/81).
