Just wondering does anyone actually have the roll of honour for the DIVISION 1 minor champions from down the years ( since it started ) ?

I just want the division 1 champions ......

It would be very interesting to know and see how clubs have evolved through highs and lows .....

Ratoath, thats all i can remember winning it, unfortunately it doesnt look any different this year either

Dermot 1. De la salle was the old name for navan omahonys underage teams

Did dunboyne not win it in 2012 surely that is a mistake saying ratoath won the championship ?

meathforsam11 ah no, do you not remember ratoath beating the 'unbeatable' dunboyne team easily enough en route to the back to back minor championships.What a great bunch of lads!!

yes i was surprised that it went back that far, gleann na mi where from julianstown stalmullen area and the salles were the whole town of navan prior to simonstown being formed in the sixty's

HAVOC you are partially right , DLS were the whole of Navan , but with players from adjoining clubs like Bective et al supplying players to the team when they didn't field a team of their own . I recall a guy called Day Cahill coming on for DLS in a final and scoring a goal for DLS to win . Davy Cahill is from the well known Cahill family that plied their trade with Bective , and the now defunct Robins town GFC in the 70-80's and the early 90's .DLS were very dominant at minor level in the 70-80-90's for that fact .

Shows the shift in power at underage...6 of the last 7 winners are from dublin commuter belt.

unfortunley south meath is where its at nowadays lads but it would be great to see a north meath team win. personally i would like to see some amalgimations like bective and dunderry to add a bit of stiff competition to it

Good man G time to go back to the tech. for geography lessons. Bective is part of the Navan parish that is why Davy played with the Salles

Ratoath could easily be going for 5 in a row this year. Unlucky to lose to Dunshaughlin in 2009 when they ran a straight knock out championship in March/April and kicked away the final to O Mahonys in 2010.

St Cuthberts won a fair few even being an almagamation team .....

Am i right in saying St.Colmcilles were part of Duleeks minor team at some stage ?

M.Simoncelli (Meath) - Posts: 126 - 27/06/2013 12:04:53    1416629

Very interesting to see all the minor winners.In the 70's Walterstown and Seneshalstown were combined and had very strong teams.They won in 1975 and were hot favorites to win again the following year but were surprisingly eaten by De La Salle in the 1976 final.Would be interesting to see some of teams from that era.

M simoncelli your right there. Both bernard flynn and bob omalley played on the 1982 winning team with duleek

I always wondered that thanks , interesting to see that st.colmcilles won it the following year too .....

The O'Mahonys team that won the minor in 2001 were unbeaten from under 12 to under 21 winning every league and championship.Has to be the team off the gaa history.

I don't think the Bective has moved since the 60's -80's and I am aware that it is part of the overall Navan parish. I was never too sharp on Geography anyway . But if I recall correctly , Bective GFC was in existence even back in the time of the DLS . but they didn't have minor teams so some guys went to other areas dependent on where the power was .The point I was trying top make is that at that time the DLS were able to call on a larger area than NOM currently do today .Thus they should have been called the UN instead of the DLS
