The quarter-final tie between Nobber and Navan O'Mahonys was originally fixed for Kells on 29/8/1986. However O'Mahonys failed to fulfill the fixture due to the unavailability of Joe Cassells who sustained an injury in the All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry. A vote was subsequently taken by the Meath County Board on Monday 1/9/1986 to decide if O'Mahonys would concede the tie. The voting finished at 20 each before Chairman Fintan Ginnity ruled that the game be re-fixed. This game was fixed for Rathkenny on Sunday 7/9/1986, but it wasn't played. The matter was taken to the Leinster Council on Wednesday 10/9/1986 and they ruled that Navan O'Mahonys be disqualified from the S.F.C. Hence, Nobber were granted a walk-over and proceeded to the semi-finals.
