What teams are looking strong to win their Divisions lads ? it looks like Dunboyne are rampant along with Ratoath in Div 1 according to results. Div 2 looks more difficult to predict maybe wolfe tones . Div 3 could be Oldcastle or Kilbride. Div 4 Maybe St Vins/Curragha with Moynalty/Ross Close . Div 5 Dunderry . What do you think ?

In Divison 1 I still wouldn't write off Na Fianna through the back door. Wouldn't know much about the other divisions LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1456 - 19/09/2017 11:16:30 2047956 Link

I heard they lost a good few and looking at the results ratoath have already beaten them . In Div 1 it will Dunboyne I think Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 19/09/2017 11:53:30 2047986 Link

Replying To Brownepat: "Who is in div 1 shake up" Dunboyne are massive favourites for Division 1 - Plenty of lads on the Meath Minor squad and the under 17s county squad. They also have a huge panel. Ratoath, Na Fianna and Dunshaughlin are probably next but a fair bit behind Dunboyne. Na Fianna have plenty of County Minors too so probably next in line.

Not sure re Dunshaughlin . Simonstown or Senchalstown as they will all be hard beaten . Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 28/09/2017 14:47:58 2051370 Link

And then there were four Dunboyne v Na Fianna Ratoath v Senchelstown What do people think - I think the winner will come from the Dunboyne Na Fianna game!

Replying To Royalblufill: "And then there were four Dunboyne v Na Fianna Ratoath v Senchelstown What do people think - I think the winner will come from the Dunboyne Na Fianna game!" Dunboyne are favourites by a good bit with Ratoath second favourites. Na Fianna and Senchalstown 3Rd and 4th. So I imagine that is the way it should end with a Dunboyne /Ratoath Final but I think this Na Fianna team are unpredictable and capable of winning it Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 05/10/2017 23:12:34 2053461 Link
Dunboyne have to win it With all their county minors and u17 stars No one else has a chance , who ever they play in the final they will be big big favorites winning by 8pts plus, have the best management team also Really experienced head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 513 - 07/10/2017 16:48:25 2053753 Link
With all due respect to Sencheltown, I think it's a three horse race. Ratoath should win their semi, while the second semi should be a good tight game. It's interesting that Dunboyne are being made favourites, as they have a tough semi against last years u17 champion Na Fianna who seem to be hitting form at the right time. I feel it will be a repeat of last years u17 final. Ratoath v Na Fianna. Upforyourball (Meath) - Posts: 37 - 07/10/2017 18:32:22 2053768 Link
The sangwedges and cocktail sausages are already booked in mulvanys for the celebration when dunboyne win Mick McCauley playing music Only thing they are thinking about is if they should wait and celebrate the double when they win the U17 special championship as well head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 513 - 07/10/2017 19:09:18 2053772 Link

Dunboyne look really good and seem to play 2 sweepers sometimes and will make it difficult to score against. They have great scoring power also with strong forwards. Ratoath are similar to Dunboyne with more free scoring forwards but less physicality. Looking at Seneschastown they have some very fast smaller players and if they get it right would give Ratoath a fright.. I was at the Dunshaughlin game v Senchalstown and yellow Furze look a real threat and could be the surprise. Na Fianna are also dark horses and could be dangerous I saw them v O Mahoneys and I thought on that night all of there six forwards playing in 1st half were very dangerous but then changes were made and they fell apart. . So for me Dunboyne are favourites and should win Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 10/10/2017 22:57:32 2054542 Link

Na Fianna won the under 17 league last year and lost in the Minor Final last year with many of their 17s playing - they should certainly put it up to Dunboyne! Should be a good night in Dunganny tomorrow! Royalblufill (Meath) - Posts: 473 - 11/10/2017 15:34:59 2054719 Link

I'll let you know who will win the final in time to get the money on !!!!! Upforyourball (Meath) - Posts: 37 - 12/10/2017 21:52:29 2054943 Link
Oops What happened dunboyne ?? Na Fianna have a good team and full of big names should handle Ratoath with ease in final head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 513 - 13/10/2017 10:52:07 2055007 Link
Last night I attended the Minor football semis c'ship in the Centre of Excellance in Dunganny, I watched the game between Na Fianna and Dunboyne, an great game of football between 2 very even teams, well worth 5 euros entry fee. The only downside was the state of the public loos, especially the male one. They were a pure disgrace. Virginiablue75 (Cavan) - Posts: 27 - 13/10/2017 16:04:07 2055071 Link
I starred to watch the Ratoath game for 1st 15 mins but it was way to one sided as Ratoath way too big and physical for Senchalstown . No 11 Aherne is what makes Ratoath tick along with very good and big midfielders . The game between Na Fianna and Dunboyne much more exciting and great game between two great sides. It looked like Dunboyne were going to win midway through second half as leading by 4 points with strong wind but Na Fianna have a never say die attitude with all their players playing for each other. It was a long half with 8 or 9 mins extra time . No player stands out for me in this Na Fianna team but their spirit drive and determination will be hard beaten . Ratoath should be favourites but talking to a Na Fianna man who said that they have 2 very strong lads to come into panel yet I have to go for them but it should be close Bear10 (Meath) - Posts: 463 - 13/10/2017 17:11:29 2055096 Link

Never get tooo cock sure of yourself when they meet . And if you recall Ratoath beat Dunboyne last year in Senechalstown , So it's not all with NscFianna just yet .
