16 years is a lifetime in sport. Can't dwell on the past. Come back when they've actually won something this year. You don't get medals for semifinals.

Didn't they win a Brendan Davis earlier in the year?!

Went to the games at the weekend. Hurling in general is just poor. Wonder what Johnny Greville made of it.

Kilmessan were more that comfortable, even with 14 men. I cannot work out whether they have improved or if others have gone backwards but they are a nice way better of anything below them in the pecking order based on what they have doone so far this year. Their inside forward line failed to register but they also failed to find a lot of space in there either. Maybe it was the effect of the extra man, but they will need a lot more if they are to trouble Ratoath.
Kildalkey have a great knack of being cherry ripe for this time of year. It goes back, I feel, to the stroll through the groups, they can be in 2nd gear and plod through and aim to peak right about now.

Replying To Tobefair80:  "Seen a few games over the weekend and in the senior i don't think Ratoath or Trim will be shaking in their boots after Kilmessan and Kildalkey's performances. Did just enough but the opposition wasn't the best to say the least.
Ratoath Trim Final with Ratoath to finally get their hands on some silverware.

Intermediate
Great to see Ashbourne in a semi final and in with a great chance of making a final, Boardsmill will be kicking themselves I'm sure.
Navan were very poor against a Kildalkey side missing over half of last years team, a very one dimensional team. Rathmolyon will be licking their lips but have a tendence to loose games that they should be winning.
Rathmolyon to win it out comfortably."
It's a really interesting one in IHC now

Drumree gave Ashbourne a hiding in the groups but had the extra man for most of the game and more to play for. Ashbourne should've probably gone clear of B'Mill over weekend in similar situation.

NOM will really fancy it now that they've taken out Kildalkey. Choosing to stay down now looking like a very smart call as they're looking better. I'd say Rathmolyon have been kept firing during their 'rest' time'

Your mention of them losing games they should win makes it a fascinating final if Ashbourne beat Drumree - Rathmolyon missed out on the league final this year after losing to Don/Ash and were knocked out of the championship by them last year too!.

Right now I'd say it's a Drumree/Rathmolyon final but couldn't call a winner after that tbh.

Ashbournes number 8 was red carded against Drumree yet was playing the qtr Final against Boardsmill over the weekend? As he got sent off so early I presumed it was a straight red but must have been two yellows? Anyone confirm?

Cant imagine Greville was too excited with what he saw over Saturday & Sunday.

Was there anyone who stood out over the weekend that could add to his future squad?

Dixon from Boardsmill maybe? Massive athlete.

There are plenty of good hurlers in the county but its just not attractive or appealing to commit to the county team.

Perhaps 2 yellows or won an appeal
