So why did Kiltale no appeal 4 weeks ago ? They knew before the county final that the county champions would not be included in the BD Cup If they were so annoyed about not been included in the BD Cup why did they wait until after the finalist were know to appeal to the Leinster council ? BD dishonored is all of this charade gardentree (Meath) - Posts: 194 - 06/11/2018 15:10:51 2149893 Link 0 |

I think this is a very harsh post, maybe with a little chip on the shoulder. Making fixtures is an impossible job and this year has been very progressive, given the difficulties of the hurlers being in the new Joe McDonagh and the possibility of the footballers in the Super 8. The hurling championship this year was the best ever after changes to the format, the leagues are all played and the idea of structuring the Cup competitions to allow for no hold up was very good. It showed some foresight and the proposals coming in for changes to the championship and league also highlight progress. If Kiltale had been fixed to play a Brendan Davis Cup game a week before their Leinster club match, would they have looked a for a postponement. These things have happened in the past. Kiltale are a fine club and great representatives of Meath hurling but this is a funny one. 49erroyal (Meath) - Posts: 65 - 06/11/2018 15:21:40 2149898 Link 0 |

If I recall correctly, there was plenty of giving out that the leagues were already starting too early this year in the last weekend of January. How could you possibly fit even more games in there? The competition should be run like it was a few years ago on weekday nights in May, without county players. Even then I recall controversy a few years ago when a certain club ignored the Meath management and played their county players in a Davis cup match a few days before a Christy Ring semi final.

How do you know they knew they would be excluded. And also they were preparing for a county final that they hadn't won yet so they were hardly going to appeal a decision to exclude county champions from the Cup competition when they weren't county champions yet? This mess lies firmly with the CCC and nobody else. If your talking about cups being dishonored well then that was done a long time ago with the amount of walk overs given and the time of year the competition was being played at!

This has turned into a mess. CCC got it wrong, but very unfair on Trim and Kildalkey players and the Davis family who want to play this final. Competition is never going to be replayed this year. Kiltale have made their point and they should withdraw their appeal for the good of Meath club hurling and let the final be played.

Every team senior and inter should have been in from first round and if they didn't play game fair enough. But every team should have been in from start. Think kiltale are dead right and other team should have followed suit in fairness. Fair play kiltale JohnboyWalton (Meath) - Posts: 19 - 06/11/2018 21:39:18 2149976 Link 0 |

Personally think they way that the football competition was run this year was very good. It gave teams a break after they got knocked out of the championship and then they were able to play an extra few games which previously wouldnt have got. I know my own club enjoyed it and seen it as a chance to blood a few younger lads in a 'fun' competive manner. juicy (Meath) - Posts: 399 - 07/11/2018 10:22:11 2150024 Link 0 |

"Kiltale objected to this 3-4 weeks ago" That competetion has been running since at least the beginning of September, that's more than eight weeks ago. Did Kiltale pay the €100 to enter the competition at the same time as all the other teams or did they suddenly realise half way through that they hadn't been included?

I think it would be worth approaching the idea of moving the tournament around the county as opposed to 1 club having it every year. It would give each individual club a chance to show there grounds particularly clubs who don't get to host hurling championship ties due to not being in a central location.

A great disservice was done to Meath Hurling by objecting to the Brendan Davis cup final been played last sunday. More mud for the non hurling people in the county to sling at Meath Hurling. This appeal and the decision of the Leinster Council to deem the Brendan Davis Cup null and void has only embarrassed Meath hurling once again. The CCC then deem it null and void without even sitting down with Kiltale, Trim and Kildalkey to see if a resolution could be found between the four parties. Surely because it was their fault the rules were broken they should have made some attempt to rectify the situation not Just throw the competition in the bin without discussing with the three clubs left in the competition.. Nothing but negativity to Meath hurling was gained in the last seven days. This will be a bullet for the none hurling people to fire in the coming months if Meath hurling management are looking for support with anything . But don't worry we will make sure that the Brendan Davis Cup is played every year from now on, we will make sure that this competition is given its rightful place in the Meath Gaa games fixtures schedule from now on. We will not let the events of this negative week affect our resolve to make sure that the Brendan Davis cup remains an important competition in the Meath Gaa fixtures schedule. Brendan Davis would turn in his grave with such carry on. No Surrender. gardentree (Meath) - Posts: 194 - 07/11/2018 13:40:56 2150047 Link 1 |

I note the CCC statement and their apology to the teams that participated and to Kildalkey and to Trim who did not get to play the final and so well they should but not one hint or word of apology to the clubs that were excluded. This merely shows that the CCC have learned nothing by the whole sorry exercise. Leinster Council found that the CCC had acted incorrectly but they, the CCC, are still in denial of the fact that you cannot take a club's money and then not admit that club to the competition or exclude a club from one competition by virtue of its success in another competition.

Disappointing that Trim cannot add to their trophy cabinet this year, I hope final is still played. I wonder will football clubs who were excluded appeal to Leinster Council over their non participation in football cup competitions?? They just have to appeal on the football cup regulation and they win appeal. Redsalltheway (Meath) - Posts: 116 - 07/11/2018 17:41:19 2150095 Link 0 |

The county board made of mockery of all cup competitions played this year not just this. Playing cups when most teams are out and couldnt care less , you only have to look at the amount of byes given. As for the rest of your statement , bit dramatic dont you think? Most people think kiltale were correct and karma has came back to bite kildalkey. hurlit (Meath) - Posts: 415 - 07/11/2018 18:35:25 2150100 Link 0 |

I don't get the karma and Kildalkey, I was led to believe that the Brendan Davis Cup was presented by the Kildalkey Club to Meath GAA so that Meath GAA could run a knockout competition open to Senior and Intermediate Hurling clubs in Co Meath. Apart from the final being played each year in Kildalkey with the cup being presented by members of the Davis family, the Kildalkey club do not organise this competition, which now seems to be a pity because no organisation could have made a bigger mess of it as its current organisers.

It's almost like the CB suddenly realised they'd forgotten to hold the tournament and scrambled to try and get it run at the last minute when the business end of the SHC was almost fully decided. Once the other clubs had departed the championship they lost all interest in fulfilling these fixtures. We could barely field a team of U21s and minors for one of our games before eventually conceding a walkover. I attended a few of the other games and there was no interest and no spectators at them and not much in the way of entertainment to watch.

The Brendan Davis saga led to A Shameful end to a brilliant club Hurling season. gardentree (Meath) - Posts: 194 - 09/11/2018 15:57:15 2150408 Link 0 |

Good championship alright and good format to senior especially. Regarding the Brendan Davis, I think once your knocked out of championship, your year has finished. Hard for clubs and players that are knocked out in championship to fulfil a fixture knowing they haven't played or trained for a few weeks, and that's only first round and then expect to play a team still competing in championship the next round. Look, its a good competition but its ranked lowest of the 3, so play it first(all teams) along with league and then championship. Also to a comment made to kiltale, that it won't be forgotten in 2019, does that mean Kildalkey will fix all there games to suit themselves again????
