Replying To madmeath: "Of the eight in the Senior Championship Quarterfinals, four of them have won it in the last four years, Dunshaughlin 2024, Summerhill 2023, Ratoath 2022. & Wolfe Tones in 2021.
It is fifteen years since Skryne won (2010), sixty three years since Trim won (1962), eighty three years since Donaghmore (on their own) won it (1942) & Ballinabrackey never won it." Donaghmore/Ashbourne aren't an amalgamation. The Donaghmore club always covered Ashbourne but they added Ashbourne to the name in the 1990s to reflect the fact that's where the vast majority of their players are from.

Replying To 49erroyal: "Cilles with all their super underage teams are really under performing. Perhaps they are putting too much emphasis on winning titles at underage and then these players get the land of their life when they find out what adult football is like.
O'Mahony's are in real trouble. Have been too loyal to the old players for too long. Should have thrown three or four of last year's minors in but only went with the goalkeeper and it is too late now." Biggest issue O Mahony's have is the lack of experience and they caused it themselves.
They have very few winners at senior level in that squad and that isn't the faultnof the players, it is past managements. Looked at the team from last night and only Darragh Maguire out of the 30 lads named played in the 2015 championship final. The likes of Conor Finnegan might have been around the panel but not many more.
They also haven't had a senior footballer on the Meath team since around that time with the two Brays, Reilly and McGuinness being the lads of them.
They had a very good minor team back in 2010 who won a minor championship, they should have blooded more of them lads over the years so they could keep the belt of talent going. They didn't they stuck with majority of the senior team that won in 08 right through to 2015.
Just to back my case up, I looked up the minor team from 2010 and besides Brian Dillion, Finnegan and Forde I don't think any of them played senior football or are still playing any sort of football.
For example Ratoath won the minor championship the following year, about 10 I know went on to play senior football and 5 or 6 are still playing.
