Replying To Irish_downunder:  "Trim v Kilmainham - Think it will be close till midway into the 2nd half and i suspect Trims depth in terms of numbers and quality off the bench will be the difference, Kilmainham have played some decent stuff up to now but think the big navan pitch will provide trim with too much room - Trim by 5

Bracks vs Michaels - This is a hard one to call as think it will be closer than people think and can see it going to the wire. Bracks by a single score

In the final if Trim can put last years woes behind them they should be good enough to take it all. Hurling escapades could weigh heavily on them by the time a final comes around. Would have to think they are best placed to go up and stay up next year."
I see they are also in the Junior Final, so there looks to be a lot of depth there?

Looking forward to the final this weekend, have no affiliations to either club but would love to see the Bracks get over the line for their first time ever up playing senior ball. Trim are a serious opponent though and hopefully it will be a great game. Please god there will be no serious injuries like in Trims Premier football victory last week. Speedy recoveries to both lads.

What's going on with St Pats? they have a huge catchment area and I always thought they had a great underage structure is the talent drying up or is this just their level? I know of many junior B clubs over the years who played Pats second team and have lost, be sad on them for successive relegations. Anyone know when this game will be played?

You are correct, hopefully a few good battles in the hurling for the weekend.

This looks like it could be a really close final - Trim have had a few injuries - Toher, Dwane and Quigley have been injured.

I would say Trim will be really focussed after what happened in last years final. Ballinabrackey are a strong side and I think the best two sides in the division are in the final.

If I was to call it I will go Trim by a small margin - perhaps after extra time.

Saturday will hopefully be a great final, two evenly matched teams who, for the most part, have dispatched all in front of them with relative ease. Both clubs have had great success across premier competitions, with Ballinabrackey also winning a minor during the week and Trim flying in the hurling. With the scores both teams have put up you'd hope for an open game but you just don't know what way a final can pan out. Trim were well beaten last year and you could say that experience may give them the upper hand, but I feel Ballinabrackey will just manage to come out on top narrowly and bring Mattie McDonnell home for what would be the first time? I'd predict ballinabrackey by 2 points but then again wouldn't mind seeing either side playing senior football next year, both easily the 2 best intermediate teams this year and whoever wins will round off a fine year for their club in a time where a football looked unlikely to even be kicked less than 6 months ago!

Registered illegally so? So if trim were to object to this what would happen?? I'm far from anti bracks, I hope dey win sat. It's just disappointing to see the tricks the club get up. It's not fair on the rest of us clubs in meath that play by the rule book

There have been a lot of players registered in Dunboyne, Simonstown, O mahoneys who never lived in those places either. To my knowledge once you play adult football (U21/U20) with a club that is your club unless transfer is granted.

Neither parents are from meath, never lived in it, dry actually live nearly 10 miles away in offaly. So players were registered illegally. It's not just this 1 case unfortunately. So I hope that answers ur question analyst.
