Who Were The Last Team To Do A Meath On It Or Was It Done?

(Oldest Posts First)

just wondering when there was a team to come from near enough nowhere to get to an all ireland semi final without getting an easy routre, and beat dublin , kerry and knock out the all ireland finalsits? it has to be a team coming from mid table div 2 the previous few seasons, so im thinking fermanagh in 2004 but of course didnt beat dublin or kerry but did knock out the all ireland finalsists, also beat a team who was in an all ireland final 3 years previously in Meathand knocked out cork who were in the all ireland final 5 years previously. other than that is there anyone? mayo beat kerry in group a few years back in killarney but were a top 5 team for 10 years at that stage. monghon never beat dublin, kerry or tyrone for all thier punching up over the last 20 years. Laois had good years from 2003-2007 but never really got to string a glorius season together to get to an all ireland semi final, thats a county that really underacheieved for all the underage success, Cavan also seem to now have wasted thier underage success with just one ulster to show.

"A team who was in an all ireland final 3 years previously"... and got beat by 9 points

Tipp bet Galway against the odds to make a semi 8 or 10 years ago.

Wexford got to an AISF in 2008, beat Armagh, reigning Ulster Champions, in the AIQF. Beat Meath, who had reached an AISF in 2007, and Laois, who were losing Leinster finalists in 2007, in Leinster, and then Down who lost their Ulster SF to Armagh.
Lost the AISF to Tyrone who won Sam later that same year.

I'm not sure this falls exactly into your categories, but Wexford 2008 might be close?

Beat Meath (2001 All Ireland finalists)
Beat Laois (2004 Leinster Champions)
Beat Down (who later contestested the 2010 all Ireland final)
Beat Armagh (2002 All Ireland champions, 2003 all Ireland finalists)
Lost to Tyrone, the eventual all Ireland champions.

Do a meath on it... Is that like lose by 20 points and get humiliated or am I miss reading the title?
