Kepak Senior Championship Gp 1

In Simonstown

Simonstown v Dunshaughlin Royal Gaels on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref:   Sean Gahan

A hard fought game against the champions in Dunboyne will no doubt give Simonstown hope in this 2nd round game against a confident Dunshaughlin Royal Gaels team who got the better of a resilient Skryne team in round one. The blend of youth and experienced players on the Simonstown team will be eager to take on last years beaten finalists who are motoring well after their Masita 1 Cup Final win early this month.

In Skryne

Skryne v St Peters Dunboyne on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: Finbar Shanahan

St Peters travel to Skryne to continue their championship defence after a tight first round game against Simonstown. After getting mixed results in both the league and Masita Cup they hope to continue to step up their performance in Championship.

Skryne will be looking to tighten their defence after conceding 3 goals in the first-round loss to Dunshaughlin. The team is a nice blend of experience and youth and will be buoyed by the experience of reaching a Leinster Intermediate Final last season.

Kepak Senior Championship Gp 2

In Paddy O'Brien Park

Navan O'Mahonys v Donaghmore/Ashbourne on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: Henri Clifford

Navan have home advantage in this game and after both teams were pipped late to lose their first round games, Navan can take some solace that they were always in the game against Seneschalstown. A point from play, deep into added time shattered their hopes of getting something out of the game. Last year was O'Mahonys first Senior season in a number of years and more than held their own reaching the quarter finals last year.

Donaghmore/ Ashbourne will be hurting after their disappointment of last time out and will be expected to raise their game against the resurgent Navan team. They left quite a few scores behind them in the battle against Oldcastle and will be hoping that their experienced players will drive their team forward in this must win match for each.

In Millbrook

Oldcastle v Seneschalstown on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: Joseph Curran

Oldcastle came away with the points due to a very late goal against Donaghmore Ashbourne in Round 1 and showed touches of brilliance and sheer doggedness to stay in touch with Donaghmore Ashbourne all through the game, finally winning with a last kick of the game goal, deep into added time.

Seneschalstown are confident after overhauling an 8 point deficit to win by the minimum against O'Mahonys in round 1 so will take the long journey to Millbrook on Sunday evening in good spirits. After reaching the final in 2021 and semi final last year they hope to continue their run.

Ratoath v St Ultans on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: John Kavanagh

Ratoath need to lick their wounds and rise up for round 2 after a bruising loss to Na Fianna in the opener. St Ultans who comfortably beat Summerhill will be wary of a backlash from Ratoath on their home patch.

In Summerhill

Summerhill v Na Fianna on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: Frank Hevey

Na Fianna were far too strong for Ratoath in Round 1 and will be confident going into round 2 against Summerhill who  lost their opening fixture to St Ultans.

St Michaels v St Colmcilles on 2/9/2023   18:45 Ref: James Costello

St Michaels drew with Dee Rangers but it was an entertaining game and either side could have taken all the points. St Colmcilles will be hoping to continue their winning ways and cement a quarter final place with a game to go.

Dunsany v Clann na nGael on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: Paul Brogan

Dunshaughlin and Walterstown repeat the recent Masita Cup Final meeting and Walterstown will hope they can reverse that result in this 2nd round game and grab another two points after their big win in Round one against St Peters. Dunshaughlin will want to win to maintain their interest going into the last round.

In Dunboyne

St Peters Dunboyne B v St Patricks on 2/9/2023 at 18:45 Ref: Jason Buckley

St Patricks travel to Dunboyne on the back of a good win over Dunshaughlin and will hope to continue the good form. Dunboyne's second string will want to make amends for the 1st round loss to St Patricks and emulate their Senior team mates.
