Cilles didn't make it easy for themselves by not dropping a man in front of him. Most of his ball winning was out in front and not high ball. First time seeing Cilles since Croke Park. They look tired. They should survive and get their well earned break. Kepak10 (Meath) - Posts: 153 - 28/08/2017 13:59:36 2039338 Link

Big Time if they put a man in front of him they would have won the game..He was the difference grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1083 - 28/08/2017 15:24:45 2039406 Link

Replying To ziggy32001: "yes look at ratoath this year,they look way better." Cilles players are out on their feet. Secure position and take some well deserved rest, full on assault next year. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 28/08/2017 17:38:44 2039484 Link
Dunshaughlin beaten tonight by St. Pats, the last round fixture v Skryne is going to have a lot riding on it. Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3590 - 28/08/2017 21:06:36 2039615 Link
Replying To head4dblackspot: "Ye some battle !! Pats to beat a poor Dunshaughlin team who only scored one point from play last night and that was fisted over, only scorers were Toolin and Dwyer. As I've said before past glory has no barring on today's form and right now Dunshaughlin are struggling, could easily end up In lower grade next year , have barely survived over past years Ratoath were miles better last night and if it was a dry night the gap would have been more" As I said Pats to beat a poor Dunshaughlin team This was a poor game and Dunshaughlin bottled it while ref was given them every chance for the draw Now they have to face a Skyrne team who are also fighting for there lives To be fair neither are playing well but I think Skyrne shade this game and once again Dunshaughlin will survive by the skin of their teeth because he Duleek are that bit worse head4dblackspot (Meath) - Posts: 447 - 28/08/2017 21:29:11 2039636 Link

Full all assault to what ?? that team are no where near good enough to get any where near winning a senior championship.. grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1083 - 28/08/2017 21:52:14 2039662 Link

Replying To Analyst: "Like another 5/6 teams in senior" completely agree.. grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1083 - 29/08/2017 08:05:22 2039805 Link
Replying To grahamc9897: "Full all assault to what ?? that team are no where near good enough to get any where near winning a senior championship.." While I agree, I do believe that they will make the knockout stages next season once they have a break over Christmas. They are a better team than they have shown so far this season. If they can consolidate their position in senior over the next few years, their underage teams coming through will massively strengthen them over the next 5-10 years. Skryne - Dunshaughlin will be some battle. Can see at least one red card in it. Would have definitely gone to the game were it not on at the same time as the Ratoath - Dunboyne game.

Replying To grahamc9897: "Full all assault to what ?? that team are no where near good enough to get any where near winning a senior championship.." That's your opinion. I respectively disagree. Certainly good enough to get to semis. And we will see from there. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 29/08/2017 16:31:57 2040214 Link

I think we will certainly win it over next 5-10 years and lot more than once , with what we have coming through royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 29/08/2017 16:33:41 2040218 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "I think we will certainly win it over next 5-10 years and lot more than once , with what we have coming through" Underage success guarantees nothing. A lot of clubs have had plenty of underage success and not won a Keegan Cup. It's a bit premature to predict you'll win it more than once VernonSmith (Meath) - Posts: 95 - 29/08/2017 17:08:49 2040251 Link

Fair point..But Going on your performances this year i cant see it...Maybe the year will brings yous on but would be shocked if they get out a group next year...Ourselves (seneschalstown) and Omahonys are very poor this year and yous couldnt even beat us..Blackhall are shocking and could only draw with them.. grahamc9897 (Meath) - Posts: 1083 - 29/08/2017 18:00:02 2040283 Link

Replying To VernonSmith: "Underage success guarantees nothing. A lot of clubs have had plenty of underage success and not won a Keegan Cup. It's a bit premature to predict you'll win it more than once" Cilles in particular had a lot of underage success in the 2000's and only last year won an intermediate. So the example of how underage success can actually count for nothing is a lot closer to home than you'd expect. However, I'd imagine they won't make the same mistake twice.

Would that group that the Cilles are in be the group of death? From an outsider having O'Mahoneys, Simonstown and Seneschalstown alone is tough enough itself. If the Cilles were in another group would you they do better? OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 29/08/2017 19:34:02 2040332 Link
