BOYNE VALLEY… 1-11 MOYFENRAGH… 0-13 A late goal from Francis Marry of the Slane club was ultimately what turned this Brady’s Skoda-sponsored Regional Football Championship Final on its head at Dunganny Sunday lunchtime. Thus ensuring the Richie Barry Cup remains in the care of Boyne Valley – who number in their rank players from Walterstown,… Read More Marry weds Boyne to title as Richie stays at home
There was something strangely apt about Ireland putting in another abomination of a performance against The Netherlands just hours after Meath’s Rathkenny exited the Leinster Club IFC at the penultimate hurdle via penalty shootout as Scoill Ui Chonaill of Dublin advanced. Now read on… During his 1994 show ‘Live At The Olympia’ the late, great… Read More Brave Rathkenny undone by cruelty of the modern world
RATHKENNY (Meath)…3-11 KENAGH (Longford)…1-10 At the outset here, an admission – it’s only very recently I became aware of Kenagh. And that was due to the legend that is Farmer Phil (Stewart) on YouTube and the fact that the family business https://www.stewartfamilyfarmlongford.com/ supply the famed local eatery in the town https://www.facebook.com/macsshack15/ with all their beef… Read More Red and black in the green after efficient display

Dunboyne…3-14 Seneschalstown…1-06 Having just been a solitary point to the good at half time, Joe Breen Cup holders Dunboyne turned in an exceptional second half effort in this re-fixed Ladies SFC semi final in Ashbourne on Tuesday night. The Yellow Furze outfit were actually much the quicker into their stride and constructed a five point… Read More Holders still standing with one hurdle to go
Dunboyne…4-15 Moynalvey…0-10 Chances are yours truly wasn’t the only one in these parts – or Moynalvey – in absolutely no mood for football on Friday night. How could either place be, with the heart and soul having been ripped out of both communities when Damien O’Reilly was taken from us long, long before his time,… Read More Frustrated relief
If anybody has become bored or annoyed by my re-posting match text commentary in recent weeks I apologise. It’s my way of dealing with Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and/or separation anxiety, whichever you want to call it. From not being able to attend matches it is desired to be at. Without wanting to play… Read More An epic and equally upsetting weekend
