Good start not enough

St Peter’s, Dunboyne…2-11Moynalvey…2-11 On a weekend when reasons for cheer were as scarce for devotees of Meath football as hen’s teeth, the return to action of Ronan Jones as a second half sub was a telling boost for Dunboyne as they maintained their recent run of momentum in the FL Div. 1 when coming from…

EXCLUSIVE A few weeks back in this space, mention was made of the fact that one had been accosted in an online forum for, once again, pointing out the link between the odious split season and player loss due to emigration. Whether temporary or permenant. Those rebuking my support for the proposal to extend the…
