JFC Results Yesterday

Great win for Moylough against the more favoured Drumbaragh team. What happened Drumbaragh? But fair play to Moylough. Thats both the Drums & Moylough into last 8 as they cant be caught. Looks like Meath Hill are a league team. Unbeaten in Division 4 and promoted already but lost to Summerhill second string at weekend so they dont look like qualifying from their group. Looks like Longwood & Dunsany out of that division. Ballinabrackey had great win over Kilmainham, anyone know had both sides full strength teams? Both look like getting out of group but Wolfe Tones & Ballivor might take Kilmainhams place. Big game between Slane & Ratoath tonight. If Ratoath win that'll mean its between Slane, Ratoath & St Brigids to join Simonstown in last 4.
Quarter Final Predictions
Longwood v St Brigids
Dunsany v Simonstown
Ballinacrackey v Drumbaragh
Kilmainham v Moylough

Semi Final Predictions
Longwood v Dunsany
Ballinabrackey v Moylough

Final
Longwood v Ballinabrackey

Winners?? Probably Ballinabrackey

drumbaragh were already tru and they wernt really pushed to win. sayin that moylough arnt that bad.. I was at the Kilmainham and Ballinabrackey game and Kilmainham were missin a few players and the ref was gus martyn who awarded 2 goals which were square balls to b'bracky... i didnt tink much of ballinbrackey the ref won it for them... they still have ballivor to play in that group and their a strong team.. i also seen kilmainham play agenst clann na gael in the league in kells.. i tot it was an amazing game of football, and if they play like that they wud win the junior... longwood and dunsany look good in group A but i tnk dunsany cud put up a gud game agenst longwood when they play eachother.. not gud for meath hill they lost to summerhill who lost all 3 games b4 that. slane not lookin too bad in group D..

A- Dunsany and Longwood
B- Ballinabrackey and Kilmainham
C- Drumbaragh and Moylough
D- Slane and St Brigids

SlimJim. Simonstown are undefeated in group D and should qualify having already played Slane Ratoath and Brigids.

simonstown hav lost 1 match. its close in that group tho. i tot simonstown still had slane left, if they have the brigids in their last game well then it will leave the final games in that group very interesting.

maestro
i think they have all lost one in that group, very tight indeed. Well done to moylough tru to the next round

Ratoath beat Slane last night by 4 points so scenario in that group is
Simonstown qualify if they they beat St Marys - take as a given
Slane v St Brigids: If St Brigids win or draw, they qualify. If Slane win, they dont necessarily qualify becasue they would only go level with ratoath and as they beat them last night, Ratoath would qualify in that case
Ratoath play Boardsmill in last game which will put them on 7 points but they will need Slane to beat St Brigids or St Marys to beat Simonstown

Looks like St Brigids & Simonstown to me

Didn't Simonstown draw with Ratoath? Ratoath had a strong win over Slane last night. The final round of fixtures should make this a very interesting group.

As far as I know Simonstown have qualified for the quarters they played all the big teams in the group and are undefeated, think its a toss up between the other three

jokerofthelane (Meath) - Posts: 48 - 18/08/2009 10:15:13    395303

Simonstown drew with Ratoath and Slane and bet Brigids. They only have to beat Marys.

Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 586 - 18/08/2009 11:34:02    395382

If Slane and ratoath both win their last games, they will be equal on points and it will go down to points difference. Should be interesting as there's only a point difference between the two.

Thats the Tables for the jfc.
How are simonstown through alraedy maestro they are 2nd in group D

northwest (Meath) - Posts: 107 - 18/08/2009 12:10:24    395441

northwest, I think that table is wrong as I think Slane beat Simonstown and Simonstown drew with Ratoath. I think Brigids play Slane, Ratoath play Boardsmill and Simonstown play the Marys in the final round of games, so I think that group is up in the air. Does that mean Simonstown are on 5 points or what? And are Slane on 6 points? Whats going on there?!

updaroyal (Meath) - Posts: 1132 - 18/08/2009 12:36:27    395481

updaroyal - Slane drew with Simnstown

LetuceBFrank (Meath) - Posts: 67 - 18/08/2009 12:38:33    395483

Ok so, but does that mean Simonstown only have 5 points as well because they drew with Ratoath?

updaroyal (Meath) - Posts: 1132 - 18/08/2009 12:46:31    395499

Simonstown have 6 points, 2 wins and 2 draws. But Slane are more or less out because even if they beat Brigids, ratoath will have 7 points also and go through because its not point difference but how teams fared against eachother that is used first. So assuming Simonstown beat St marys they will top the group because St Brigids can only get to 8 points and as Simonstown beat them in first round, Simonstown finish top. Only Simonstown & St Brigids have the group in their own destiny, Ratoath & Slane dependent on upsets

Ah yes InsideTrack that clears it up now alright, last round of games will be interesting

updaroyal (Meath) - Posts: 1132 - 18/08/2009 13:21:02    395559

Insidetrack you are wrong there - the rules are as follows:
Where Teams finish with equal points for Qualification for the Concluding Stages, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified:-
(i) Scoring Difference (subtracting the total Scores Against from total Scores For). ST Brigids ahead by 18pts so if this remains they qualify.
(ii) Highest Total Score For. Not sure here but as Simonstown have had 2 draws and beat ST Brigids by 1, again I am assuming ST Brigids ahead and if it stays this way they qualify.
(iii) Where two Teams only are involved - the outcome of the meeting of the two Teams in the previous game in the Competition. Doesn't apply here as 5 teams in the group.
(iv) Scoring Average (divide total Score Against into total Score For). Doesn't Apply here.

So on this basis Simonstown and ST Brigids both win their last games - Simonstown have to win by 20 points, which is possible, but I expect ST Brigids to beat Slane and top the group - although its down to the wire for all 4 for the last game.

Inside track - Slane are not out. When teams finish level on points, the below applies. And this is the official Meath document!

Where Teams finish with equal points for Qualification for the Concluding Stages, or for Promotion or Relegation, the tie shall be decided by the following means and in the order specified:-

(i) Scoring Difference (subtracting the total Scores Against from total Scores For).

(ii) Highest Total Score For.

(iii) Where two Teams only are involved - the outcome of the meeting of the two Teams in the previous game in the Competition.

(iv) Scoring Average (divide total Score Against into total Score For).
