Club Championship 2025 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Head4TheBlackSpot: "The Meath Championship is in the gutter. Teams are finished playing by September, and the format is all wrong.
The team that finishes top of the group should go straight through to a quarter-final.
2nd and 3rd place should play in a preliminary quarter-final.
The bottom seed should go into relegation.
Groups should be seeded the following year based on this format.
Right now, you have situations like Ballinabrackey reaching a quarter-final while clubs like Dunboyne and Gaeil Colmcille are either relegation or finished for the year. How can you justify having the last four winners of the intermediate championship stuck in the same group? And teams are going through on just two points - it's no wonder Meath clubs never compete properly in Leinster or beyond." How can you have a championship where teams have only played 3 games and it started and ended in August for them. The leagues are really poor especially for teams below the top 2 divisions. Club team players are unnecessarily training from at least January for what? Paid coaches and young fellows that would train every day of the week are putting pressure on club players to train all year round. A minor injury at the wrong time could completely derail a player from participating. None of it makes sense.

having 3 out of 4 teams qualify from a group is nonsense, in that scenario a team can qualify on 1 point.
Dunboyne and Gaeil Colmcille are in relegation or finished because they haven't been good enough all year, its as simple as that.
