Hurling championship final fixtures & results

9 October 2026

Not a bad nine days for Luke Harte. The youngest member of the victorious Kilskyre/Moylagh squad also won a minor football and a minor hurling championship medal since last Friday.

A big weekend is in store for followers of the Meath club hurling scene, with four finals across the senior and intermediate grades.

Saturday: Kilskyre/Moylagh justified their favourites tag with a comprehensive win over Dunderry in The Senior B final at a splendid Boardsmill. Apart from the opening ten minutes in the first half the winners dominated and a Willie McGrath goal gave them a 1-9 to 0-4 half time lead. Dunderry hit the first four points of the second half but once again the North Meath outfit took control. A Darren O’Higgins goal and a string of points from Tom Shine set them up for their third championship title and promotion in three years.

Rathmolyon ended years of heartbreak and claimed the Intermediate title in fine fashion with 11 points to spare over Clann na nGael at Kiltale. The winners led 1-8 to 0-5 at the break. Martin Forde and Stephen Mulligan got the goals while the impressive Joey Christie scored eight points.

Preview

The return of the senior final to St Loman’s Park will bring back fond memories for many former hurlers.

Up until the last round, Kilmessan had been the form team in the group. A good draw with holders Ratoath in Round 1 was followed by wins over final opponents Kiltale, Trim and Na Fianna.

Despite the loss to Kildalkey in Round 5, Charlie Keena’s men topped the group and sealed a final spot for the first time since 2013. Seanie Doyle has been in great form. The full-forward has scored 2-37 over the five games and will be one to watch come Sunday.

The early Sunday morning throw-in sees Wolfe Tones and Boardsmill head to Athboy for the Intermediate B final. There was no separating these two when they met in the opening round at Kilskyre. An Evan Curley pointed free earned the Tones a draw in sweltering conditions at the North Meath venue.

Kiltale’s record in the group stages shows three wins, one draw and one defeat. That loss came in Round 2 against Kilmessan.

Kilmessan led 0-11 to 0-4 at the break. Mark Horan and Byrne increased that lead early in the second half. A mini-revival from Kiltale, with points from Jack Regan, Adam Murphy (2) and Peter Durnin, narrowed the lead, but by the 20th minute of the second half Kilmessan were well on their way to victory.

Four unanswered points, three from Doyle and one from half-back Kris Gorman, extinguished any hopes of a Kiltale comeback.

John Donoghue’s men bounced back to beat holders Ratoath, draw with Trim and defeat Na Fianna to earn a semi-final spot. There they produced their best performance, with the influential Hugh O’Sullivan helping them dethrone holders Ratoath at Dunganny.

Jack Regan has been in fine scoring form, with an impressive 2-45 over the six games.
