Kiltale very impressive last night. Can't see them being touched for title. Kildalkey young team are a long way off from being even competitive and will have a struggle staying in SHC A.

Killyon v Longwood: A bone crunching game in store. Killyon have too much hurling for Longwood to beat them and I expect Gannon to run riot. By if it's a dogfight longwood have every chance. KILLYON BY 5pts

Trim v Kilmessan: Trim should be too strong for Kilmessan who will be hard to break down. Toher should be playing as I was told he was fit for Meath hurlers for the last two weeks but didn't make 26 due to managers choice. Trim have good youth which should start to show. TRIM BY 6pts

Dunboyne v Ratoath: A chance for Ratoath to show they are Kiltale's nearest rivals, Talented team with McGowans and Kelly backboning team. Dunboyne will be game but won't stick with Ratoath. RATOATH BY 9pts

Na Fianna v BHG: Na Fianna should be a great addition to Senior hurling. Should have way too much for a very limited BHG outfit apart from Whitty and Morris. NA FIANNA BY 8pts


Boardsmill v Navan O'Mahonys: Hard to call, hope Boardsmill can stay Senior as they can improve in the next few years. NOM, are a yo-yo team and I think they will go down this year. BOARDSMILL BY 1pt

Some teams have all the luck, Pairc Tailteann on Friday nights.
Some teams have games at 7 on a Sunday.

I agree - very hard to see past Kiltale and a marker laid down Thursday evening. Good win for Trim though and they will be strong favorites now to qualify from the group and tricky opponents for any Group A team in the quarters.

Great win for Longwood. Sounds like a very exciting game.

One horse race and has been for a number of years. Kiltale picked up a few players from surrounding football areas made the difference. There fitness is miles ahead

Kiltale and Longwood continue to impress. What has happened to Dunboyne? Have we seen the real Ratoath team yet?

Dont see Kiltale been beaten, whilst they shouldnt get to far ahead of themnselves Leinster has to be focus already, the draw suggests that they dont meet KK til a final, who that will be god knows, i think they are much better than last year, Ratoath didnt impress last weekend, was a very poor game, sound like trim took BHG for granted and were nearly handed their arse on a plate, Longwood continue to impress but have beaten and drawn with poor teams, ie Killyon and Kildalkey, whoever gets to a semi final with Kiltale will be happy as it gives them a chance to make a final but realistically i dont see anyone keeping it pucked out the 6 in a row chasing Kiltale team, they are streets ahead of the chasing pack with the gap growing, for the sake of hurling in meath we need to see them win a leinster and and who knows if they could win an all ireland, to me they are good enough but for different reasons in recent years they failed against KK teams, its time now to do whatever is required to make sure they 1. win the county and 2 be ultra ready for Leinster comp, think we have seen lesser teams than this current team win AI inter titles. Whilst not Kiltale clubmember but as a meath hurling fan i like to see a Leinster tilte and if possible an AI.

so if Kiltale went and Won Leinster and All ireland outright in Intermediate would The Meath Senior Champs from then on be in the leinster Senior...ive been waiting waiting a while for Kiltale to do something...maybe this is finally the year

The standard of the intermediate champs in kk is very high , you only have to look at how they perform when they go up to senior in kk to confirm this. Same can be said for some of the laois and wexford teams they have beaten.
They are also hurling only clubs all year and playing again top teams week in week out.
No football to obstruct preparations.

Plus they have lost that surprise factor in leinster, other counties are aware how good they are , and sadly there is no shortage of hurling people in the county who will give these teams all the info on the kiltale players they need.

Call me miserable if you want, but if it's not my club I don't care if a Meath team wins Leinster or not.

You'd imagine if Kiltale won the AI the Meath champ would play in the Leinster senior the following year. It doesn't always follow the inter county grades. In 2017 Slaughtneil won the Ulster Senior Club title while Derry were playing in the Nicky Rackard.

Remember that the Offaly senior champions will be in the Leinsetr intermediate this year because of Offaly's relegation. I dont know Offaly club hurling al that well but they could be strong.

Getting to Leinster Final should be ok with the draw but Kilkenny always very strong in Intermediate grade and they should meet in final.
