Senior Championship - 4 Like(s)
Replying To Maestro: "That was 3 years ago they won it and they have gone back each year since then. They only made the semi final as they have got very lucky draws when finishing second in their group.
What does that even mean that they are the "best team"?
The best team have the best players and will win it out." I think a bit of respect for all teams is in order, Skryne and Dunboyne have come from relegation battle last year to semi final this year, Dunshaughlin in their second year back Senior into a Semi final. Tones now 4 semi finals in succession. I will add that teams finishing third in groups should not be in relegation and groups should be seeded based on previous years semis. A lot of statements about teams getting "good draw" , you could argue that Ratoath have gotten great draw in past two years but did them no good. Don Ash were as good as any team i seen this year but were in relegation, championship is about grinding results, Dunshaughlin did so against Ash and Summerhill when under pressure, Skryne did it V Rathkenny and Dunboyne were under pressure V Kells, as were Tones but they got the result. I think all three championships Senior to Junior are wide open which is a good thing and unusual. I think out of the 12 teams left only Slane are outsiders really. For rural clubs like Skryne, Tones, Castletown, Meath hill , Vincents and Dunsany it is a great achievement to be competing with in some cases teams with 20 times the player pool and resources
