The draw did not change last year when the groups were done. All pairings were exactly as outlined by the county regulations/bye laws. Those regulations were published about 2 weeks after the draws were made. Some idiots went on social media with their own idea of what the draw should be and this caused confusion.

It is offensive to accuse any county board/committee of changing a draw when qualifiers become known. Show some respect.

Replying To CastleBravo:  "Assuming it's the same as last year (which was set well in advance, despite some conspiracy theories about Kildalkey somehow changing the draw at the last minute....) it'll be 1st in Group B vs. 4th in Group A, winner plays 1st in Group A. and it'll be 2nd in Group B vs. 3rd in Group A, winner plays 2nd in Group A.

So:
QF1: A4 Vs B1
QF2: A3 Vs B2

SF1: Kiltale Vs QF1 winner
SF2: A2 Vs QF2 Winner"
so other than an extra game to be played Longwood or kildalkey have the same path if i am reading the info correct ?

If Longwood and Kildalkey finish in 2nd and 3rd (in either order) then yes they will both be on the same side of the draw and avoid Kiltale.

2nd in B will avoid Kiltale but must first play 3rd in A. Last year it was not as clear cut as Kiltale did not finish first in A like they this year.

Dosnt seem right that potentially going on the format above, B2 on paper have an easier route than B1?

There's no way of having a perfect system really. You want to "reward" team B1 for topping their group, so you pair them against A4 rather than A3. But at the same time you have to "reward" A1 for topping their group, so they too have to be paired against A4.....

I had a good look through the championship and the knockouts are more or less set.
With Killyon and Dunboyne nothing to play for I expect them to be beaten in there last games and Kiltale to overcome Ratoath.
Leaving it 1) Kiltale 2)Kildalkey ( only because I don't see Longwood winning by 10+ 3)Longwood and 4) Ratoath.
Winner of Trim Na fianna tops group B.
I fancy trim to win that.
Q final: Winner^ v Ratoath= Kiltale in semi
Loser^^ v Longwood=Kildalkey In Semi

Boardsmill relegated to Intermediate, very surprised at that.

They were unlucky not to make a quarter final last year but very few clubs could withstand losing 5 or 6 starters from one year to the next, let alone a small rural club

Thought they would beat Navan all the same, even looking at the result last night they got more scores but the goals killed them

Who said that Trim would avoid Kiltale by finishing 2nd in Group B, they would also avoid Kiltale by losing the quarterfinal. They have no God given right to walk over any of the qualifiers from Group A and if they have any doubts let them reflect on the great escape against Blackhall. If they do lose to Na Fianna so what? Maybe they may not have been able to beat them in any case and maybe Na Fianna May also want to avoid Kiltale so that would be some farce.
Loosing is a habit!!

Going by results, I would say Kiltale would rather avoid Trim. Trim would have the best chance of beating Kiltale, they were unlucky in final last year.

The semi could be the chance for Trim to get Kiltale possibly, catch them off guard possibly (saying they beat whoever in the quarter).
Interesting game v Na Fianna. Wonder will they have Douglas? Anyone know whats up with him as I see he played for the footballers?

i wouldnt say unlucky, kiltale went through the gears when they wanted to, maybe if trim had every player playing rather than minding themselves for other codes it may have been different but said i doubt it either, dont see anyone beating kiltale this year in club champ and think they will leinster the best rattle yet

The lad that did not play. By Irish downunder I thought you may have got the tag fro Oz, didn't realize that you are actually hidden away out of sight and out of mine and with no way of knowing what goes on in the real world. People from well outside the county were wondering why the player in question missed the final and you don't know. Find a minder for C... sake. I don't think you should go out on your own.

right you got nothing so. Togher was the only one off the starting 15 who didn't play as he was injured. No one was missing or said they wouldn't play so they could play footy.
