Hi Toon, based on the league results from the weekend, the tones took some hammering from Dunboyne so I cant see the tones coming out of the group. They are in a bad state at present. Facing a relegation in Div 2 A of the hurling league and gave a walkover in the junior game v Na Fianna. Kilskyre have to be fancied to come out of the group.

Can't wait for this, love when the championship rolls round again, I reckon Ratoath will top Group A , Colmcilles second and then a scrap between Na Fianna and the rest for third. RR (Meath) - Posts: 139 - 10/06/2015 13:23:11 1735140 Link 0 |
As a Ratoath man myself, I can't see Ratoath doing to well this year, look sluggish and slow throughout the league, missing a few keys members of the team too, for the opening few rounds anyway!! I'll give them quarter final at most!! 36inchash (Dublin) - Posts: 20 - 11/06/2015 12:13:33 1735567 Link 0 |
I think IHC is a going to be a non contest. Na Fianna to stroll through group and win Final easily. Nothing in this grade to beat them, they probably could make knockouts in senior this year. Good young players mixed with tough older lads give a good balance plus they had the best Manager in Meath hurling by some distance in Pat O'Halloran, that was a major coupe for them. Can only be good for Meath club hurling. Redman7 (Meath) - Posts: 81 - 11/06/2015 13:44:36 1735618 Link 0 |
Redman, Na Fianna have beaten Boardsmill, and have pushed Trim and Kiltale close in the league and Brendan Davis respectively. overthehill72 (Meath) - Posts: 334 - 11/06/2015 14:08:36 1735635 Link 0 |
Decent game of ball out in Kilmessan, Tones beating Drumree by two points. Perfect conditions for it out there RR (Meath) - Posts: 139 - 14/06/2015 20:03:07 1736883 Link 0 |
Went down the road last night to watch Kiltale and Ashbourne, complete annihilation by Kiltale, from the first whistle to last. Ashbourne were like a bunch of headless chickens. Saying that though, theyre up against my own side next so I'm a little wary, but if nothin changes from last night then they're in deep trouble RR (Meath) - Posts: 139 - 18/06/2015 11:28:28 1738911 Link 0 |
Any ideas of the weekend fixtures. Who showed form from the first round. Any winners outright showing form. Shivermetimber (Meath) - Posts: 124 - 24/06/2015 09:50:06 1741923 Link 0 |

Ratoath VS St Pats - Ratoath by at least 8, pitch could cause them some bother though RR (Meath) - Posts: 139 - 24/06/2015 13:57:12 1742097 Link 0 |

With 3 games gone the groups are starting to take shape. Tones and Athboy look like they should top either group and go straight for semi's, a bit surprising but shows how open the champ is. Moylagh look to be in big trouble especially since losing to Pats at weekend. It looks like Ashbourne for rel playoff in the other group. toon (Meath) - Posts: 247 - 13/07/2015 09:31:06 1752250 Link 0 |
Kiltale beating Tones and Ashbourne's comeback against Kilskyre means that there's everything to play for in every game going into the last round of fixtures in Group B. Moylough doomed to the playoff in the other group RR (Meath) - Posts: 139 - 16/08/2015 19:20:46 1771053 Link 0 |
So is it Clann na Gael V Drumree and Na Fianna v Wolfe Tones in the semis? Who do you think will win this year. My self I see it as a Clann na gael v Na Fianna final with the athboy side coming out on top BelieveinMeath (Meath) - Posts: 121 - 19/09/2015 19:21:30 1789338 Link 0 |

Whatever team comes up, they will be competitive in Senior (which isn't difficult considering Navan Boardsmill rathmolyan and Dunderry are weak). But like Blackhall this year, a quarter final fixture would be the very best they could hope for. Similar to Na Fianna under Cillian Farrell, a quarter final back then was a successful year. overthehill72 (Meath) - Posts: 334 - 22/09/2015 10:24:29 1790510 Link 0 |
Spot on overthehill72. Na Fianna will be back into the senior grade soon either way as they have some fantastic young hurlers coming through. The underage section of the club is being really well run. On the other hand Athboy seem to be relying on a lot of old names and until they sort out the underage teams they'll struggle to survive in senior. Pity too as Meath hurling needs the likes of Athboy in the senior grade BelieveinMeath (Meath) - Posts: 121 - 22/09/2015 20:48:58 1791041 Link 0 |
