Replying To Analyst: "They are way off with O Mahoneys, should be 12/1 and Tones are generous at 20/1 should be around 9 /1" Crazy odds on Blackhall, they've a lot of lads back and will be hard enough beat. Certainly not 66/1! Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 1318 - 07/03/2017 15:11:53 1965062 Link
Replying To anfearbeag: "Where are those odds from Dunboynelad? Looking at it, I reckon Moynalvey e/w at 16s could be a bit of value." Moynalvey, Blackhall and Summerhill look very good value. Summerhill have about 3/4 lads who probably should be around the Meath panel but aren't and they are flying in the league. Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 1318 - 07/03/2017 15:13:39 1965065 Link
Odds are with Paddy Power. I'd agree with all the above, Summerhill will always be strong and have a settled team going well, and although I wouldn't overstate the importance of the league, it has to be an advantage having their lads together. Moynalvey seem to be unlucky with injuries a lot, if they keep their best team fit they're very strong on paper although with the hurling I suppose it's difficult. Their best 15 is a match for anyone in the county so it will be interesting. As for our neighbours Blackhall, they have Nestor and Brady back there which is a big boost for them, they're certainly nowhere near the worst team as the market suggests, they'll be competitive. dunboynelad (Meath) - Posts: 227 - 07/03/2017 15:35:38 1965081 Link

Agree with Moynalvey, they might not have the strength in depth if injuries hit them and have been without the O'Sullivans for many championship games in recent years. Blackhall I hear also have a lad back from playing soccer in England in the forwards and apparently he's very good. Hard to see why O'Mahonys are so highly ranked at the moment going by recent performances last year and a lot of their lads are getting on. As usual with them, they can blow hot and cold I suppose.

Rare youd see the current champions in a county at 8/1. Bigballer30 (Meath) - Posts: 16 - 07/03/2017 19:48:37 1965220 Link
Replying To dunboynelad: "Bookies have it priced up below. They were way off last year but seems about right this year. Navan O'Mahonys 11/4 St Peter's Dunboyne 3/1 Donaghmore/Ashbourne 6/1 Simonstown 8/1 Ratoath 8/1 Summerhill 9/1 Na Fianna 14/1 Skyrne 16/1 Gaeil Colmcille 16/1 Moynalvey 16/1 Wolfe Tones 20/1 St Colmcilles 25/1 Dunshaughlin 25/1 Seneschalstown 28/1 St Patricks 50/1 Rathkenny 50/1 Duleek/Bellewstown 66/1 Blackhall Gaels 66/1" Why because Dunboyne are 3/1? It is very hard for the bookies to price it. I got Simonstown at 25/1 in August last year Maestro (Meath) - Posts: 569 - 07/03/2017 20:51:00 1965254 Link
Replying To Maestro: "Why because Dunboyne are 3/1? It is very hard for the bookies to price it. I got Simonstown at 25/1 in August last year" I had Dunboyne at 14/1 myself which was wrong as we were cut to 6/4 favorites before a ball was kicked in the knockout stages, they weren't taking chances this time so no they're not as far off. Fair dos on 25/1 on Simonstown, they were my outside pick but never expected them to win it in with such ease. dunboynelad (Meath) - Posts: 227 - 07/03/2017 21:09:15 1965268 Link
How many teams get though each group, I know last year it was 3 but I heard this year it was 2 LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 08/03/2017 08:29:00 1965319 Link
Replying To LeitrimRoyal99: "How many teams get though each group, I know last year it was 3 but I heard this year it was 2" 3 from each with 3rd in groups B and C playing off in preliminary Q Final Analyst (Meath) - Posts: 1467 - 08/03/2017 11:17:22 1965362 Link
What bookies give the most comprehensive odds across the club championships? I was thinking of backing a Navan Trim SFC/ IFC double. What odds would you get for that? trim1 (Meath) - Posts: 162 - 08/03/2017 12:52:50 1965398 Link

Replying To srgt_slaughter: "basically they weren't suppose to do the 2nd team group until next year" So some teams who thought they were going to be junior A this year are now junior b? Not great finding out 4 weeks pre TakeYourPoints6 (Meath) - Posts: 230 - 26/04/2017 11:05:55 1982806 Link

Still no details (venues, days, times) out for first round? Less than two weeks away. Bad form again by county board. They are getting worse TakeYourPoints6 (Meath) - Posts: 230 - 09/05/2017 13:49:03 1985466 Link

Replying To TakeYourPoints6: "Still no details (venues, days, times) out for first round? Less than two weeks away. Bad form again by county board.

Replying To numberedjerseys: "Sure the draws where only sorted last night I expect fixtures be out tonight or tomorrow" Here's a question - given that all they did last night was add NOM & SG back to group C, why did it take 2 weeks from the time the issue came to light to finalise the draws? Why couldn't they just have done this 2 weeks ago & let then get on with sorting fixtures? The lethargy is hard to credit. BarneysTie (Meath) - Posts: 258 - 09/05/2017 16:07:57 1985504 Link
