Replying To Bear10: "Bhulf Tón Clg v Moynalvey - could be a dead rubber but I expect Tones to prevail bi 1-2pts
Summerhill v Curraha Summerhill too much firepower - by 4-5pts
Navan O'Mahonys v Seneschalstown O Mahonys will not want to lose this one and will sneak it
Na Fianna v Donaghmore/Ash If Na Fianna turn up and are up for it on the day they will win
Dunshaughlin v Gaeil Colmcille Kells to win easy enough
St. Colmcille's v St Peter's, Dunboyne backlash win easy enough
Skryne v Nobber Skyrne to overturn Nobber by a couple
Ratoath v Simonstown Ratoath will have too much for Simonstown this time round" Moynalvey big hard runners to win
Summerhill are through anyway
Seneschalstown. Two poor teams but O'Mahonys are very poor
Don/Ash. Better than Na Fianna in a poor group
Kells. Dunshaughlin have no firepower, no Toolan and No Duggan and leak goals
Dunboyne albiet there is nothing to play for in this game so could go either way. Cilles could win but were lucky in end against a poor Dunshaughlin side. But its a dead rubber of a game
Skyrne
Ratoath are good but Simonstown knocked the champions Dunboyne out last year and at their best they could do the same to Ratoath but question is which Simonstown team is going to turn up.

Ratoath v Simonstown Ratoath will have too much for Simonstown this time round" Tones v Moynalvey, quite equal in terms of abilities, both dogged experienced teams. Draw Summerhill v Curraha. Hill lucky to be on the right side last day out, sign of good team, never beat. Could go very very close again this year, hill by 5.
NO'M V seneschalstown, Seneschalstown could pull a rabbit out of a hat, a huge rabbit from small hat. Should go well but have to rely on other results. NOM, GOODLUCK!! Sen by minimum
NA fianns v Ash. ASH are good but in a poor group. I wish Rory would do a story on bottling, bridesmaids forever. Na Fianna will run their start against Seneschalstown and could get this over the line by 3 or 4.
SKRYNE V NOBBER, Come on Nobber!!! Nobber by 10
RATOATH V Simonstown could be a canter but im sure Simonstown will want to show their true worth and come out fighting. RATOATH BY 7
Could we see a Skreen Nom Simonstown relegation battle. I bloody hope it happens!!

Another good win for Summerhill tonight they were made work for their win again however their extra bit of class showed in the end. They are a big contender for the championship as always but I expect them to be right up there. Their not winning games by big margins but their winning them anyway and I think this real king of doggedness gives them a great chance of kicking on.

Skyrne vs Nobber, I think Skyrne will want to avoid a relegation battle and will have too much firepower for the black and Amber of Nobber.
Skyrne by a few, 4-5 points.
O Mahonys vs Senchelstown, this makes for a great game as it's a derby. I don't think O Mahonys will want to play a relegation battle and will want to have the bragging rights over their near neighbors. O Mahonys by a couple, 1-2 points.
Na Fianna vs Ashbourne, a real battle this one but I will have to favor Donaghmore in this one as they have won their two previous group games beating Senchelstown along the way a team Na Fianna failed to beat. Na Fianna have a good little team their themselves too they showed how good they can be on their day by blowing O Mahonys off the park but I think Ashbourne will have too much experience and guile for them in this one. I have no doubt it will be a close game and I expect Na Fianna too make Donaghmore work for their win.
Ashbourne by a few, 3-4 points.
Simonstown vs Ratoath, a very exciting game this one but I expect Ratoath to gather the spoils and take the points. I think Ratoaths experience will get them over the line in this one but Simonstown will keep them on their toes for periods in this one. Ratoath were very impressive against Nobber not so impressive against Skyrne but still dogged out the win, this suggests that on their day the former champions can go 3 out of 3 and advance to the semi finals. Simonstown are good but their shock loss to Nobber gives me doubts about them but with Shane o Rourke back who knows what could happen.
Ratoath by a couple, 2-3 points.
Dunboyne vs Colmcilles, two teams that can't make it through too the semis but will both want to finish on a win and avoid a relegation battle depending on the other game. I thought the two clubs both gave Kells a good game but just came up short on the day. Colmcilles have really improved from last year and look like a more well balanced unit and with some new youngsters coming in, the mix Is great. Conlon is on fire and Is unmarkable on his day he gave Kells great problems in round 1 over in Drumconrath. Dunboyne have a team with a good few county players and plenty of experience with most of the team winning the Keegan 2 winters ago.
This makes for a very enjoyable affair with two evenly balanced teams on paper and form.
Dunboyne by the minimum, Cilles to give them a great contest but I reckon Dunboyne will come out a fraction better, Dunboyne by 1 score.
Gaeil Colmcille vs Dunshaughlin, a table topper vs a relegation battler tie here in the last group game in Walterstown. Dunshaughlin were very poor against Dunboyne but picked themselves up against Colmcilles and were unlucky not to grab the points due to a last minute goal for Cilles. Kells are on on form and are one of the best teams at the moment, they were very impressive in their two wins over Dunboyne and Cilles. Oisin Reilly is playing very well and so to is the reliable Seamie Mattimoe and the scoring machine Brian Beano Hanlon. They are playing their best football in a while and I think if the North Meath town is ever going to win the senior
This is the year. I expect Kells to have too much quality for Dunshaughlin on Sunday and win easy enough.
Kells to win by a good few, 6-8 points win for the town side.

Good win for Tones tonight, Moynalvey very loose at the back letting too many goals in and can't Score any themselves both teams not through but a decent campaign for Both and avoiding a relegation game in the process aswell which is positive.

The scoreline was harsh on Moynalvey, they've made significant improvements. Lawless and Harnans are a huge loss. Cian Ward was a joy to watch last night.
Ridiculous only 1 goes through, would have made for a cracking game if winner of last night went through to a quarter final.

Watched the Na Fianna vs Don/Ash game on Meath GAA TV. Absolutely horrendous affair with a crazy amount of wides. Ashbourne were wasteful in the first half but just flat out desperate in the 2nd. Na Fianna weren't great either but had some standout performances with Oisin McCloskey and Luke Kelly very good and both are under 20 again next year so maybe guys to watch out for in a Meath circumstance. Shane Walsh playing out around midfield and made very little impact. If they have any hope they'll need him on fire in full forward and Ethan Devine dominating midfield. But I'd say Kells are absolutely licking their chops at what looks like a fairly handy run to their first final since 1991

Both sides looked no better than junior in the first half. Na Fianna improved a lot in the second half but they would need to improve a hell of a lot more to have a chance against Kells.
Have a feeling that Simonstown will pull it out of the bag tomorrow. They're bound to be hurting after their loss to Nobber. We weren't impressive against Skryne, who I think will scrape by Nobber (meaning Simonstown would go through on head to head). Either way, I feel like the winner will come from the Summerhill v Ratoath/Simonstown semi final.

This was a dead rubber for both sides, both of these teams will be very disappointed not to have beaten what is a very average Summerhill side this year

Think if Na Fianna don't get bullied they will win as have better players and I think the winner of the Keegan will come from this side of the draw this year . Would imagine if Ratoath and Summerhill are in other semi final , it could be a toss up with Ratoath edging it .

Colmcille (Kells) v na fianna
Ratoath v Summerhill
Certainly not what I expected to be the semi final line up! Colmcilles v nafianna will be an interesting one! If Ethan Devine keeps his form he could drive them on to the final! Kells might just be too seasoned for them though!
Ratoath v summerhill - repeat of last years final - neither team seem to be at their best but like all good teams they keep winning! Will be tight but I think the keegan winner will come from these two!
Relegation
Curraha v Nobber
Senechalstown v dunshaughlin
I think the Ha Nobber game will be a cracker - if Ha have a full team I think they will come through but if they are missing any of their big guns they could get turned over!
I thought Dunshaughlin would go well this year but I got that wrong! I think they will have enough to stay up but maybe by beating the loser of the curraha Nobber game!
Anyway - what di I know - I thought Ashbourne would go all the way this year especially after dunboyne getting knocked out! They were very bad yesterday!

Be a brave man to call a winner with those two semis, if the wallace brothers were playing i think they would be very hot favourites but it looks like they won't be featuring and will leave them beatable ( what in the name of god is going on ? )
I will stick my neck out and Say Kells might just do it.

Eamonn anyway is focusing on athletics. He was in the National 400m final last weekend.
Could be Kells' year this year. Only team to have performed in each game by the looks of it.

Super game in Navan today. Simonstown were superb for long periods, led 6-3, 8-5, 9-7 and just got popped at the end. They missed some huge scores when it was there's to win the game. Credit Ratoath for sticking at it as the Navan men were excellent I thought throughout

Please explain how kells would be 'too seasoned' for Na Fianna? Some of this na fianna team would have played in 2 Keegan cup finals. Kells haven't gotten close to a final in recent years

watched Ratoath V Simonstown online yesterday. really enjoyed it, proper championship football. a lot of tackling and physicality by both teams and you were made work for your score. in the end Ratoath looked the fitter team and finished stronger. Simonstown started very strongly and clearly had a point to prove after the nobber game, but they faded badly in the second half.
Think Summerhill and Kells will be closer than last years final.
Kells look like the best team left to me.

It is as close as you can get.
If Kells can somehow sort their usual achilles heel (midfield) they have a real chance this year. They have a great blend of youth and experience going on.

This is probably Kell's Best chance of getting to the final but I am not sure if will beat Na Fianna . Na Fianna seem to have a lot of younger players coming through and could turn them over

Ashbourne are awful and the standard was awful them and Na fianna. Na Fianna are not top 6 if you consider Ratoath, Kells, Simonstown, Dunboyne, Summerhill and say the Wolfe Tones. Kells can throw there hat at it if they cant beat Na Fianna
