(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


I think kells should win the inter this year now good pace but I've learned over the years when all the hype is out on them to win it out they crumble and I think it mite happen yet again for kells
But they should get through there the better of the last 4

Hank your Flipping dead right, Kells have to slight favourites, Michaels could be dark horses coming with a late run and thats what its all about who is getting on a run this time of the year, Athboy have to be outsiders.... but whoever beats Castletown if any1 will win it
I would go Kells 2/1 Castletown 5/2 Michaels 7/2 Athboy 5/1

Seen both Castletown and Kells last weekend and its a tough one to call. Don't think Castletown have good enough forwards for Senior and will fall short. But their Midfield and Defence is able to hold their own. Kells going well in the league and after Saturdays victory they will fancy the double at intermediate.

Keys to Keegan , I'd assume your getting the post wrong , its not whose going to win the Keegan this Year , but whose going to win the Inter this year .... I'd say this is going to be close call in both Semi-Finals . Kells appear to have the pace however , they did get over Ratoath when , Ratoaths main talisman was on the side line looking on . The boost from not having Eamonn torment you during the game would have been a strong enough motivational tool for Kells to play out of their skins,.And I believe that is the case here.
Clan Na Gael got over Dunderry to march into the Semi's but the truth be told , GG was the main threat . And as it proved in the Qtr against Castletown , Dunderry were no great shakes . Indeed they didn't appear to be playing as a team at all against Castletown who were miserly in possession. I'd say fair play to ye if ye think Kells are going to walk it .With the Michaels and Castletown still lurking in the tall grass , I wouldn't be putting the ribbons on the cup just yet. Beware the Daddies of the all .That's History Boy's

Verse 4
From Cavan, Louth and Dublin and the green plains of Kildare,
By road and rail each sturdy Gael they all came thronging there,
And the gentle starins of music came floating from the stand,
While they played the Harp of Tara, the Navan Silver Band,
And the referee young Reilly with the whistle and the ball,
Says Castletown, brave Castletown, you're the daddies of them all.

Time is close whoever beats them (if anyone)........... will win it

I think this will be Kells year after seeing both semi finals yesterday. They have a good full forward line with plenty of pace which always creates plenty of goal chances and they really should have had at least three more goals last night against Castletown. Jamie Shaw will be a big loss for Athboy in the final and they are just too reliant on Geraghty for the critical scores and plays. Many people have different views on him but what Graham has given to football in Meath in all levels over the past 25 years is very admirable and a great testament to his love for the game. I well remember the dashing runs out of defence from centre back when he won an All Ireland medals as a minor in 1990 and again in 1993 with the U21 team and it was just great to see the commitment and class that he displayed again yesterday in Pairc Tailteann. Two Kells players that stood out last night were Seamus Mattimoe and young Liam Ferguson and I would say were noticed by Mick O'Dowd as potential squad members.

While GG given his age was the difference between the teams yesterday, I didn't think his or Clan na gaels overall performance were anything to get excited about, Michaels were better team and would have given Kells a better game, Kells will win final with a bit to spare i would think. Refereeing was shocking in Clans V Michaels match

Fully agree that the refereeing was shocking but i really feel Michaels Beat themselves yesterday afternoon. They were messing around with the ball and not letting it into the forwards when playing with the wind and doing the same against the wind. They Gifted Athboy a least 3 scores from messing around with the ball. Kells will win handy enough i reckon

Gg is the best we ever produced and was by far the best player on any team this weekend. Its testimony to his sheer class but worrying for the future of Meath gaa

I take it you weren't at too many matches then, try at look at things objectivly, there were many from Na fianna, some of the michaels backs, Dardis and Gillespie from Summerhill and Keoghan from Rathkenny to name a few

Cowardly, it's bad enough that regardless of what Clan na nGael have produced this year not it's always been the other team that threw it away or they were lucky. But now someone comes on here to praise the greatest footballer to put on the Meath jersey and you have to shoot that down also. Some of the moments of brilliance Graham produced on Sunday, only he is capable of producing. I'd doubt very much that there were many individual performances to match his this weekend. That's my little rant over, now conitinue the Clan bashing. We're thriving on it.

P.S. Only for a seriously bias in favour of Michaels Clan na nGael would have won very comfortably.

Don't think clan an gale deserved to get this far. We're a bit fortunate and will be found out in the final

If they in it they deserve to be there. What's the anti athboy stuff going on for?
As for anyone who says Graham was not best player at weekend in any team knows NOTHING about football.

Can you elaborate a little on that statement. Have you even been to any of the games ?. If so which ones and which incidents are you referring to.
