Something similar to Ratoath, i think Ratoath got promoted from Intermediate in 2015 and within 4 years they were winning Keegan cups never mind contending. Could see the same with O'Mahonys, its not like the Meath senior championship is a good standard. It has to be one of the weakest senior championships in the country relative to how good the county team is.

Navan's young lads coming through are nothing compared to Ratoath. On the county scene from them underage teams, Ratoath had, McGill, Power, Daly, McGowan, McManus, O Brien x 2, McMahon, Wallace x 2, Rooney and majority of them went on to play for Meath seniors. Ratoath had only 2 lads starting over the age of 23 in the intermediate championship final and 9 lads under 21 in the junior final win in 2012.

Ratoath had minor success between 2010 - 2012, playing in 3 finals winning 2.

Barring Tones rise between 03-06 there's not a team close to Ratoath based on the rise they had.

I remember st colmcilles were saying they would be winning senior in a few years when they were coming up and that was on the back of a lot more success at underage than omahonys have had.
Ratoath had way more talent coming through than omanohys have.
