Well done to Gaeil Colmcille on winning the League Division One title. Without a doubt the Kells men have been the most consistent team in Meath over the past three/four years or so. Nobody would begrudge them bringing the Keegan Cup to the north Meath down come the Autumn. Triple H (Meath) - Posts: 551 - 27/07/2019 10:14:51 2217018 Link 4 |

Yeah great victory. Definitely the most consistent team of the last 5 years in Meath, Hope they win a championship but I feel they are just missing something to win it. Will go close though, especially if Hanlon keeps the scoring the way he is at the minute. And I am not sure if nobody would begrudge them bringing home Keegan, Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 27/07/2019 10:24:48 2217020 Link 11 |

Consistent is what their line up is, it's no coincidence that the league final involved two teams without county player improvement. Rightly or wrongly that is what the league boils down to now. dunboynelad (Meath) - Posts: 198 - 27/07/2019 14:07:57 2217091 Link 4 |

There is talk of a clean sweep being done in Kells. summerof09 (Meath) - Posts: 237 - 29/07/2019 16:22:40 2218305 Link 0 |

Kells wont be winning the championship for the same reason they have not these previous few years. They peak away to soon, show and telegraph their hand all too often and management teams are quick now to adapt and will lock this forward threat they have down. They are also weak at centrefield. Navan hit 2-10 the other night and where away the better team in the first half. Kells concede plenty and come the championship they will continue to concede plenty but teams wont let them go man to man up front on teams. Lastly they have a distinct advantage in the League as they have no County Players whilst the other big guns are without them in the League.. Championship is a different ball game. They will get to the Feis Cup Final as Ratoath are at a big disadvantage tonight and are without there county players. They have O 'Mahonys and Skyrne in the next 2 Rounds of the Senior Championship and bigger guns wait after that Talking_Sense (Meath) - Posts: 209 - 30/07/2019 10:38:41 2218632 Link 1 |

Most of what you say is correct. They are weak at the back and have no midfield. The point I have been making on other treads is they have the best forward line in the county. I don't know how some of them is not on the county team. latouche25 (Meath) - Posts: 325 - 30/07/2019 12:42:11 2218709 Link 1 |

A bit of a stretch there now, Beano and Mattimoe are very good yes, but after that they have very average forwards in my opinion that just happen to work quite well in the Kells unit. I would argue that Simonstown, Dunboyne, Ratoath and even Summerhill have a better group of individual forwards man to man than Kells do.

They are consistent because they have the same team out week in week out and have no players on the Senior panel. They are hoovering up the cup and league as a result. Championship will be a different story. How come they couldn't beat Dunboyne last year? BigJoe14 (Meath) - Posts: 565 - 30/07/2019 14:59:56 2218765 Link 3 |

Would Simonstown not be more consitent, winning 2 Keegan Cups and a semi final last year?

You were right on the Feis Cup semi final! The Kells men had to much for Ratoath! Whatever about the most consistent team in Meath - I would suggest that no team works harder as a unit!!

I would say that Simonstown have been more consistent also, they have been nothing short of remarkable over past 4/5 years, even when losing a number of key players. Fair play to Kells for having such a focused and committed group but I don't think they will be as good as the likes of Dunboyne, Summerhill and Simonstown when the heat of championship comes around.

Because they played The Tones in the provisional quarter final 4 days prior to that and had Mattimo cuncussed and Reilly was injured, they have no backup to them.

One thing i love about Gaeil Colmcille is that they don't have any big egos on the team and they do all there talking on the pitch ...one thing i dislike about Kells fans is plenty of ego and they do all there talking on here...well one of them anyway WhyTheLongFace (Meath) - Posts: 829 - 31/07/2019 13:08:16 2219082 Link 9 |

Excuses excuses . Mattimo played full game . And it was 6 days not 4 days . Twisting the facts again .

Kells are a very strong outfit and have been thereabouts for the past number of years but always falling short in the championship, always shoulda, woulda, coulda, simple fact is that the benefit greatly by having a full team all year when most of the other pretenders are down 2 or 3 key men. As a result they consistently challenge in the secondary competitions. They have a couple of players that should be involved with Meath but for whatever reason aren't... I think that there are 2 or 3 teams who with a full team and have been playing together for a number of games week on week as will happen after Saturday night who are a better more balanced teams. In saying that I would not be overly surprised if they won the big one. They seem to be at 100% intensity for every game no matter what the competition is and want to win every single challenge let alone game. Certainly not a team that any one will relish facing but I think quality wise there are better teams..... Will be beat in the Semi final I think longroadback (Meath) - Posts: 300 - 31/07/2019 16:51:41 2219166 Link 1 |

Fair enough never said they didn't . That wasn't what I took issue with . Mattimoe played and it was 6 days . So as per usual he was twisting facts to suit his Kells narrative.
