Will Ballivor be able to continue Meaths winning tradition in the Leinster junior football competition? They are being described as the best team to win the Meath championship for years.However there exists some worrying signs.Most of the players also line out with Kildalkey and they too had a hectic schedule of late, wear and tear are mentioned. I know they also had to play a league game last week so as to qualify for the final but they were by all accounts poor and sluggish against Bective in the Division Four decider. However the most worrying hint of the lot was their failure to field an under 21 team against Ballinlough last Monday.Hope everything goes ok, Ballivor put their foot back on the pedal and bring home another Leinster junior to the county.

they lost against bective who were probably one of the best teams in junior this year it dosn't mean that they wont do well in leinster. they could of had one eye on leinster and weren't too eager on the league

fox_in_the_BOX they didnt loose a game in championship or league so they have to be one of the strongest......... stats speak for themselves

Yes Fox, where have you been for the past few months? Bective are apparently the best team since sliced bread! so on that reckoning Ballivor should win Leinster at a canter.

Yes clearly they are one of the strongest teams when they cant advance from the group stages and o mahonys 2nd team can says alot about quality of football out there no wonder there players all try to get transfers to o mahonys sure could ya blame them

One player got a transfer.... And anyway if you were a true sportsman you would be encouraging young teams from country clubs to succeed. Not put them down, Bective beat ballivor fair and square, they had an unfortunate year in the championship but they are a team to watch. And the topic is about ballivor here and I would be happy to see them do well in leinster and wish them best of luck.

bective only bet ballivor because the dorans weren't playing

I actually am from ballivor and it sickens me the way people single out certain players. Ballivor can win games with out the dorans! neither Doran has given full commitment during the year to Ballivor club and one of them didnt even play one A league game this year!! Ballivor lost on Sunday cause a number of their players didnt perform, but yes Bective were a far stronger team and played very well, credit where its due. But to not play well and play without 3 of your starting team and only lose by 1point isnt bad. But best of luck on Sunday lads, do the village proud!!

I think its time to stop worrying about Ballivor. Yesterday the showed they are Big Boys and don't need anyone worrying about them. Well done lads

Glenny,

your dead right Ballivor can fight there own battles on the field. They did Meath proud yesterday by winning comfortably and they never looked like giving up. spink keeper was excellent in placed balls with 3/4 points but could not get his own team going as they never looked like getting out of first gear.
Ballivor's next game is on a week from Sunday November 20th against the wexford champions.

but if they meet the fechin's would they have a back capable of holding Holcroft?

Well I'm getting really worried about Ballivor now they seem to have no regard for other teams.

First they go and win the JFC in Meath in Style by 8 or 10 points Then a heap ot them go and win the SHC with Kildalkey and then it gets really worrying they give up home advantage and beat Clonard to get to League Final and promotion. It was a little bit less worrying when Bective beat them... phew.... but now their at it again beating the best of Laois and Wexford to make the Leinster Final.

They seem to have no feelings for these other teams and now are intent on winning a Leinster..... Very Very Worrying stuff indeed.

Even though I live miles from Ballivor I might go to watch them in the Final but have aworrying few weeks till that. Terrible Stuff shocking

Disgraceful umpiring yesterday that cost fechins a Leinster championship. Very unimpressed by Ballivor after hearing so much about them. The only reason they won is down to two extremely bad umpire decisions
