2016 Meath Intermediate Football Championship

November 2019 November 2019 Meath I.F.C. 2016 St. Colmcille's (2nd I.F.C. Title) Cortown Leinster ICFC St. Colmcille's (Final) St. Colmcille's 0-13, 1-9 Rosemount All Ireland ICFC ??? 2015 2017 The 2016 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 90th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for Intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 18 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage. The draw for the group stages of the championship were made on 8 February 2016 with the games commencing on the weekend of 9 April 2016. Curraha were promoted to the middle grade after an 11-year exodus when securing the J.F.C. crown last year. This was Walterstown's return to the Intermediate grade after 51 years as a senior club since being relegated last year. Cortown were relegated to the 2017 J.F.C. after just 2 years as an Intermediate club. On 22 October 2016, St. Colmcille's claimed their 2nd I.F.C. title when defeating Dunderry 1-12 to 1-6 in the final replay in Pairc Tailteann. After 3 minutes of the first match in the final, St. Colmcille's and Meath star Graham Reilly was sent off and was subsequently suspended for the final replay which made the seaside club's achievement even more commendable. The victory marked their return to the top flight after a 20 season absence. After winning the Meath I.F.C. St. Colmcille's also made history by winning their first Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship and became only the third Meath club to win this honour after Wolfe Tones in 2004 and Ratoath the previous season. They beat Rosemount of Westmeath in the final. Intermediate Championship Format Change Proposals Rejected Due to the lack of success of the Meath Senior football team in the previous few years, it was proposed to make the club championships more competitive by reducing the number of teams in each tier of the championship and then the number of teams in each group to provide more 'do-or-die' matches which in turn would provide more competitiveness. On 18 January, the decision was made to cut the number of Senior clubs to 16 in 2017. This means that 3 of the 18 clubs would be relegated at the end of the 2016 season while the 2016 I.F.C. champions would make up the top 16. 5 teams would be relegated to the J.F.C. from the I.F.C. with the J.F.C. champions making up the 16 I.F.C. teams for 2017. In 2017, the 16 teams will compete in 4 groups of 4.http://hoganstand.com/Meath/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=249231 All change as 16 team championship groups given the green light 19 January 2016 Hoganstand.com 19 January 2016http://www.meathchronicle.ie/sport/gaa/articles/2016/01/18/4112807-relegation-blitz-for-2016-football-championships/ Relegation blitz for 2016 football championships 18 January 2016 Meathchronicle.ie 18 January 2016 However on 21 March, a proposal from the Slane club to retain the status-quo format was accepted by 40 to 14 votes.http://hoganstand.com/Meath/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=252433 U-turn on football championship changes and relegation 21 March 2016 Hoganstand.com 21 March 2016 Team changes The following teams have changed division since the 2015 championship season.
