They were very very poor in the minor league, losing to some weak teams

well ratoath may of had a bad minor league but they have come back strong, and if they are any good 5 meath minors and a 6 point win over league champions simonstown speaks for itself

I will be just glad when all this speculation is put to rest and the championship finally gets back on track, then we'll have all the answers, nothing can be judged at this stage.

Ye well done to your U16 team who got to the SUMMER LEAGUE semi final, the real teams were in the semi final of the proper league back in may, not the micky mouse leagues in July and August.

Ratoath Minors now back at full strength and putting in a serious amount of training and friendlies in preparation for the resumption of the competition.
They'll be hard to beat...

moylagh4junior , during the 16s championship ratoath had all there players bar maybe 3 for 1 game (they missed heaps for the rest of games) and bet vincents curragha by 4 points , curragha then went on to a semi and were unlucky to lose by 3 to simonstown A.E.T , simonstown went on to win it! ratoath u16s have only started to get a team back and there minors are pretty class and ul see that soon enough anyways.

Heard Bobby o Brien got straight red card for Ratoath junior team at weekend in their defeat to Dunsany,and will miss next weeks minor match against Walterstown. He will be big loss but they have strong panel and should still win comfortably.

The Simonstown/O Mahonies match should be a great contest. Sheridan missing for Simonstown but they should still win.

Navan o mahonies vs simonstown.. NOM.. NOM to come good and edge it.
Rathoat vs walterstown... Rathoat.. Rathoat to strong for a troubled walterstown.
Ashbourne vs moynalvey... Ashbourne.. Ashbourne are too strong for moynalvey on the wings and could run away with it.
Dunboyne vs clan na Gael... Dunboyne.. Again too strong I'n the wings for CNG and should win with some to spare but they need to preform alot better than they have.

It's Ratoath.
expert, I was sure Bobby O' Brien got a straight red too but the Chronicle is saying it was a second yellow. Either way it was very stupid of him to mouth off at the ref, especially when the game was over.

I heard Walterstown have a few gems in their team . Of course we all know how good David Donnellan, Stefan McDonell , Cormac Madden and Colin McGrane are.. But can anyone tell me how good Paul Donnellan , Ruairi ODowd and John Davis are ? Ive been hearing a few good things about them . Could they cause an upset in Ratoath tomorrow ? as Ratoath are with out star man Bobby O'Brien

Moynalty beat Gaels Colmcille by 14 points to 13. Credit must go to Blacky for this achievement.

Ratoath beat walterstown by 3 points 2.17 to 3.11. Going on this display Ratoath arent the racing certainties for championship. Walterstown cut them open quite easily and could have had few more goals.

Apart from one incident the game was played in great spirit with great scores and tough tackling from both teams. Much better value for money than Croke Park last sunday..!

@expert7 I'm not sure What game you were watching because from what I could see Ratoath were cutting through Walterstown a hell of a lot more and could/should have had two if not three more goals whereas down the other end Walterstown got two late goals both of which came from mix ups between the goalkeeper and his defenders, in the end it could have been a hammering but fair play to Walterstown they kept going and were rewarded with the two goals( even if they could have been stopped) that put a bit of respectability on the scoreboard.
