Leddy into the half back line
Erin Leddy from Na Fianna retains her berth in the Meath half back line having replaced Trim’s Blaithnaid Hughes at half time against Carlow ahead of today’s All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship quarter final at Pairc Gratton in Inniskeen.

Put the word ‘Cup’ in the description and excitement is guaranteed
Life is predicated on a never ending cycle of swings and roundabouts. Sporting or otherwise. For example, if the appointment of Harry Whelehan hadn’t brought down Albert Reynolds’s Government, John Bruton never would have been Taoiseach.

If we play as selected we’ve a great chance
Having just typed the above headline, I realise there’s probably as much chance of me walking down for a pint as there is of the said eventuality coming to pass, but, even in light of the cataclysmic loss of Ruairi Kinsella, the listed half forward line has me salivating at what might be possible if…

Kinsella KO catastrophic blow for club and county
Every player, club and county’s worst fears were confirmed for Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels and Meath when news broke that Ruairi Kinsella’s knee injury sustained in training last weekend was indeed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Royals shuffle the deck in search of Cork conquest
