This was St. Michael's first year ever in this grade as they were promoted from the J.F.C. after claiming the 1982 Meath Junior Football Championship title. It was also just their 4th year in existence after the two clubs Kilbeg and Carlanstown amalgamated in 1980.
From this season onwards, the Division II (now known as Junior B) club Kilmessan and Intermediate club Dunsany amalgamated. The football section of the new club was called Dunsany and the hurling section was named Kilmessan.
For the 1983 season, Junior club St. Louis Blues and Intermediate club Rathkenny amalgamated under the name Grove Emmets, but were relegated at the end of the season.
