Only a front bench reshuffle for the Royals
It’s very much a case of carry on regardless for Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric and his assistants as they opt to go with the same starting 15 for tonight’s Dalata Hotel Group Leinster U-20 FC Round 3 encounter with last year’s Minor winners Longford at Allen Park, home of Clonguish GFC, though if…

It’s Tullamore or Portlaoise
At last, the shroud of secrecy has been lifted and Meath now know the two possible venues at which they will begin their 2026 Championship journey in 11 days time. If they are facing Mark McHugh’s Westmeath side, it will be the now familiar surrounds of Glenisk O’Connor Park in Tullamore. However, should Mike Solan’s…

As you were for Minors
Meath Minor football manager Trevor Giles has kept the faith with those who lost out to Louth by the narrowest of margins and played amid horrendous conditions 12 days ago ahead of tonight’s Round 2 outing against Kildare at Fr McManus Park, the home of Skryne GFC. There are, however, a number of alterations to…

Crash hoping charges stay on course as they take on the big boys
Meath U-20 Hurling manager Sean ‘Crash’ Corrigan has, as one would have expected, kept faith with those who have recorded victories over Antrim and Carlow as his charges move into Phase 2 of the Leinster Championship, taking on Dublin this afternoon at Parnell Park (2PM, live on Clubber TV) That means that Joey Christie of…

Having dug out a gutsy victory in their opening round fixture against Kildare in the Leinster MHC, Niall McKeigue’s side welcome Antrim to Trim tomorrow (Saturday), hoping to repeat the victory of our U-20 lads over the same opposition in Kilmessan 13 days ago. Yes, you will note that, yet again, two Meath teams are…

O’Bric rotates bench ahead of Laois test
While sticking with the same starting 15 as that which put 5-19 on Carlow seven days ago, Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric has rotated his substitutes bench ahead of tonight’s second round outing against Laois at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. As a result of which Charlie Gallagher of St Peter’s Dunboyne and Liam Jennings representing Blackhall Gaels…

We Are The Champions!
MEATH… 1-22 CORK… 2-17 Simplistic headline, yes. But doesn’t it say it all? Well no, it doesn’t. It doesn’t tell half the story, of the day, never mind the campaign. To date. A five star display from Ruairi Kinsella, whom it was feared at one stage would miss the entire league. Jack O’Connor cementing his…

Frustration offset by the prospect of happiness
What it will be admitted is a small degree of frustration at Meath not being able to, or perhaps not wanting to gamble on giving some new blood a run out during the National Football League campaign just now drawing to a close, is offset to a very large degree by the fact that we…

Giles unveils Minor men as seasonal bow postponed
It will be openly admitted that, had the Leinster MFC encounter between Meath and Louth gone ahead tonight (Tuesday) as planned, what you are currently reading would probably not exist as the workload in BTS HQ would have to have been juggled around. However, frustration and mystification at the panicked late derailment has at least…

Pragmatic realism for the greater good
With Sean Corrigan’s U-20 side due to begin their Leinster Championship campaign against Antrim in Kilmessan just 25 hours after his own team line out, Meath senior hurling manager Johnny Greville has taken the pragmatic approach of not starting those involved for Saturday’s final round NHL Div. 2 encounter with high flying Kerry in Trim.…
