ratoath were missing up to 5 starting players ageinst walterstown and were ageinst a walterstown team that had a full team for once and when they played moynalvey they were missing 4 or 5 of there best players and ratoath should of one by alot more as they let 2 bad goals in at the end...ratoaths minor to loose

john moore...neither of late goals were mix ups...the first one Ruairi O Dowd rounded the full back and then coolly rounded keeper...the second one was fisted to the net which was a fifty/fifty ball between the forward and keeper..that is not a mix up. the first goal for Ratoath in first half was a mix up between the walterstown defender and keeper. in the last minute of the game the ref pulled back walterstown and gave them free when they had man inside on his own..Ref should have given advantage.
Ratoath looked slightly stronger team but could still have been caught at the end....No need to be so defensive off your team. How long of suspension did Bobby get?

You said Ratoath could/should have scored 2/3 more goals....possibly you are right...all chances wont be scored. I read a poster here saying that Ratoath should have scored 2/3 goals in their defeat by Dunsany in junior championsip but they didnt and lost....thats the way football is sometimes.

begezurus...Obviously Ratoath are the raging hot favourites to win it and probably will as long as pressure dosent get to them

ratoath missing atleast 5 players there expert..no one will beat ratoath this year in my opinion..bobby will be back for the next match

Apart from Bobby who were they missing? Mc cullagh is long term injury.

expert7, another long term injury is killo mcguiness, prob would have been full forward

Dunboyne very convincingly beat Clann Na Gael, which sets them up for a very interesting tie against Moynalvey in the next round

Curraha for division 3. They are physically one of the best teams that i have seen in a long time and they can all kick the ball very far !! Its a great asset to have as they can shoot from further than the 50 which counter-acts some teams like blackfort gaels blanket defence !! also they are very flexible and can touch their toes at least when stretching !!

Dont know about that I was down that way and some of them could not touch their toes without bending their knees this is a very bad and does not bode well for the future

MFC Semi Finals:
Div 2.
Trim V Dunshaughlin
Skryne V Summerhill

Div.3
St.Pats V Nobber
Blackfort Gaels V St.Vincents Curragha

What are your thoughts on these games??
I can see a Trim Skryne final in Div. 2 and Nobber playing Curragha in Div.3

Trim had a good win over Dunshaughlin, 2-12 to 1-6. It was a tough encounter. A penalty in injury time put a gloss on the scoreboard but Trim were worth their win

Trim await Skyrne or Summerhill in Division 2 Final. Hard to call Skyrne doing well under Mick ODowd but Summerhill have a good side. Skyrne had no one on Minor panel Summerhill had 2 Lyons and Dardis. If Dardis is injured then Summerhill might be found wanting. Skyrne to spring a mild suprise.

In Division 3 Blackfort and Vins/Curr is a hard one to call. Niall Shorthall is a very good player but Blackhall might have the better all round team, Another North v East Meath battle is Pats v Nobber. Pats to sneak it.

Trim await skryne in the div 2 minor championship final. Skryne had a great win over summerhill today, was a close game, Summerhill looked the better team in the first half but the skryne defence were immense and summerhill relied heavily on frees for scores. Will be an interesting final but trim are a one man show and if skryne can keep young Toher quiet then Trim will struggle for scores, Skryne to win by 4 id say.

The problem with that is that nobody is able to keep young toher quiet, so Trim won't struggle for scores

But Trim have never played Skryne at this age group..Skryne have solid defenders like Lenehan and Ryan that should be able to handle him

I think it is a disgrace that the div.2 and div.3 finals AREN'T in Navan considering the div.4 and 5 were?
