This was the first year that the Junior 'B' (or Division II) Championship was implemented.

Carnaross and Duleek were regraded from the 1956 S.F.C. and coincidentally both teams made this season's I.F.C. final.

At the end of the season Drumbaragh, Navan O'Mahonys 'B', Nobber, Salesian College, Shale Rovers, Syddan 'B' and Trim 'B' all applied to be regraded to the 1958 J.A.F.C.

On 15 September 1957, Carnaross claimed their 1st Intermediate championship title in front of roughly 500 paid entrants when they defeated Duleek 1-20 to 0-5 in the final at Pairc Tailteann, and thus made the straight bounce back to senior level.

Team changes

The following teams have changed division since the 1956 championship season.

Group stage

There are 2 groups called Group A and B. The top finisher in each group will qualify for the Final. Many results were unavailable in the Meath Chronicle.

Group A

Group B
  • In late July Nobber informed the County Board of their decision to withdraw from the I.F.C. due to a number of players leaving the parish on other commitments.
  • It's presumed that due to the number of walk-overs given and the fact that both Carnaross and Oldcastle drew in their group match, that a play-off was conducted to determine who proceeded to the final even though Carnaross finished with an extra point than Oldcastle.

Final
  • Carnaross 1-20, 0-5 Duleek, Pairc Tailteann, 15/9/1957.
