The championship is wide open and I'd imagine anyone from summerhill,ratoath , kells, dunboyne ,simonstown and the tones believe they can win it out. If ratoath get everyone back they'll be hard bet especially in pairc tailteann Meathmaverick (Meath) - Posts: 106 - 16/08/2017 17:57:48 2034369 Link

Replying To Ibbecek: "What about the mighty Brews Hill?" In fairness kells haven't a hope of winning it. Decent side but one of the weakest midfields in the senior. Moynalvey better placed than kells or Tones on current form Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 16/08/2017 23:15:41 2034519 Link

Replying To Meathmaverick: "They don't seem to be motoring at the minute , but if they get to the quarter finals I'm sure they'll fancy themselves." That is only based on history. They do not have the players to be anywhere near contenders for keegan. Will do well to get out of group Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 17/08/2017 16:51:35 2034782 Link

I'd fancy them to beat moynalvey. Meathmaverick (Meath) - Posts: 106 - 17/08/2017 17:23:39 2034802 Link
Don/Ash are going to need a miracle to qualify now. They'll need a massive win over D/B and hope that Summerhill beat Wolfe Tones. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 26/08/2017 20:12:11 2038217 Link

Ash and Tones was a draw, Ash need the following to go through in third on head to head 1. Beat Duleek - most likely 2. S'hill to beat Tones - S'hill will be favourites but have already qualified - 50/50 3. Two results above overturn a 29 points score difference 99% out.

Donaghmore Ashbourne still have the slightest of chances as Count mentioned. But Summerhill have already qualified as group winners so I can't see them putting too much effort into their game with Tones. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 27/08/2017 10:56:51 2038503 Link

Still very unlikely, tones 2 points ahead with a score 29 better score difference. Don Ash need a miracle TakeYourPoints6 (Meath) - Posts: 229 - 27/08/2017 12:19:05 2038531 Link

Replying To browncows: "Would agree with you -saying they have no hope is a downright silly comment." I stand by what i said. Don Ash are a shadow of a few years ago and but for a howler by one of their defenders who handpassed direct to kells forward for their second goal, they could actually have gotten a result last night. Poor standard in Senior, legitimate argument to reduce numbers to 12 teams and make championship competitive again Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 27/08/2017 14:57:28 2038628 Link

Silly comment with no taught put into it. It was actually a decent game ok some poor shooting by both sides but some good hits great tackling by both teams and pretty intense game really Brownepat (Meath) - Posts: 532 - 27/08/2017 16:47:38 2038691 Link
Last round of senior Group A sees Duleek sure to be in relegation. Rathkenny nothing but pride to play for. Ashbourne need a cricket score as Summerhil will beat tones. Group B Skryne look in trouble as ratoath and dunboyne clear other 3 in with a shout Group C Blackhall almost sure in relegation cilles out but will be wary of score difference big clash in omahonys and seneschalstown numberedjerseys (USA) - Posts: 348 - 27/08/2017 20:05:55 2038865 Link
It's past time to restructure the Meath Senior Championship. 18 Senior teams based on current quality is about 6 too many but that sort of reduction is not likely to get approval. So instead, how about this, Relegate 3 senior teams next year, the bottom team from each group Promote Intermediate champions as per normal Move to 4 groups of 4, three games each Two top from each group into quarter finals Bottom team from each group into relegation play off Count (Meath) - Posts: 93 - 28/08/2017 10:21:05 2039124 Link
We struggled at times to break down the Skryne defence but eventually ground out the win. We would have lost that type of game last year I'd say. Our injury list just seems to keep growing. While J Wallace was back, we lost two defenders to injury during the game with Brian Power also out injured. Can't see us having enough to beat Dunboyne in the last game but thankfully we're safely through regardless of that result. Ratoath Royal (Meath) - Posts: 1362 - 28/08/2017 10:36:28 2039135 Link
