St. Pats have home advantage against Boardsmill while Clann na nGael welcome Moylagh to Athboy in the Meath LGFA Junior A Championship Quarter Finals.

Friday 20th September 19:30 St Patricks v Boardsmill in Stamullen

St Patricks have been knocking on the door and have made steady progress over the last few years. A Masita cup win last year showed how good they could be overcoming a strong Ratoath team. This year they have started well with a win over Moylagh and then drawing with favourites Trim in the 2nd round. That match was down to the wire with Trim ahead by 2 into added time until Emma White and her team mates worked the ball up the pitch twice to earn the draw. The 3rd round against Moynalvey was a tough encounter as Moynalvey were fighting to stay out of relegation play-off territory. They won by 6 points but Trim had topped the group on points difference securing a home semi-final place and St Patricks were bound for the quarter finals. 

Saturday 21st September 17:00 Clann na nGael v Moylagh in Athboy

Clann na nGael started their campaign with a solid win over Boardsmill 2-17 to 2-09 and followed that up with a 1 point win away to the Dunshaughlin Royal Gaels 2nd team. They then hosted St Peter Dunboyne who went on a scoring spree finishing up 14 point winners.

Clann na nGael will be hoping for a bounce back and maybe take inspiration from their win in the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta Junior Football Championship at Cill na Martra in June. Player to watch - Allie Sherlock.

Moylagh qualified for the quarter final after winning by a point against last year’s beaten finalists Moynalvey. That win was sandwiched between two losses in the 1st and 3rd rounds to St Patricks and Trim respectively. This championship is one of the hardest to win and they will need to be on top form in Athboy on Saturday.
