The draw did not change last year when the groups were done. All pairings were exactly as outlined by the county regulations/bye laws. Those regulations were published about 2 weeks after the draws were made. Some idiots went on social media with their own idea of what the draw should be and this caused confusion. It is offensive to accuse any county board/committee of changing a draw when qualifiers become known. Show some respect. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1063 - 20/08/2019 10:47:29 2227810 Link 0 |

If Longwood and Kildalkey finish in 2nd and 3rd (in either order) then yes they will both be on the same side of the draw and avoid Kiltale.

2nd in B will avoid Kiltale but must first play 3rd in A. Last year it was not as clear cut as Kiltale did not finish first in A like they this year.

Dosnt seem right that potentially going on the format above, B2 on paper have an easier route than B1? Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 630 - 21/08/2019 15:26:02 2228258 Link 0 |

There's no way of having a perfect system really. You want to "reward" team B1 for topping their group, so you pair them against A4 rather than A3. But at the same time you have to "reward" A1 for topping their group, so they too have to be paired against A4.....

I had a good look through the championship and the knockouts are more or less set. Meathgaalad (Meath) - Posts: 169 - 21/08/2019 17:52:35 2228317 Link 0 |

They were unlucky not to make a quarter final last year but very few clubs could withstand losing 5 or 6 starters from one year to the next, let alone a small rural club Thought they would beat Navan all the same, even looking at the result last night they got more scores but the goals killed them Belt (Meath) - Posts: 253 - 22/08/2019 09:35:24 2228429 Link 0 |

Who said that Trim would avoid Kiltale by finishing 2nd in Group B, they would also avoid Kiltale by losing the quarterfinal. They have no God given right to walk over any of the qualifiers from Group A and if they have any doubts let them reflect on the great escape against Blackhall. If they do lose to Na Fianna so what? Maybe they may not have been able to beat them in any case and maybe Na Fianna May also want to avoid Kiltale so that would be some farce. Loosing is a habit!!

Going by results, I would say Kiltale would rather avoid Trim. Trim would have the best chance of beating Kiltale, they were unlucky in final last year.

The semi could be the chance for Trim to get Kiltale possibly, catch them off guard possibly (saying they beat whoever in the quarter). Meathman678 (Meath) - Posts: 63 - 22/08/2019 22:35:59 2228656 Link 0 |

i wouldnt say unlucky, kiltale went through the gears when they wanted to, maybe if trim had every player playing rather than minding themselves for other codes it may have been different but said i doubt it either, dont see anyone beating kiltale this year in club champ and think they will leinster the best rattle yet

The lad that did not play. By Irish downunder I thought you may have got the tag fro Oz, didn't realize that you are actually hidden away out of sight and out of mine and with no way of knowing what goes on in the real world. People from well outside the county were wondering why the player in question missed the final and you don't know. Find a minder for C... sake. I don't think you should go out on your own.

right you got nothing so. Togher was the only one off the starting 15 who didn't play as he was injured. No one was missing or said they wouldn't play so they could play footy.
