Many young men of 20 will aim to take Meath to final hat-trick
If you’ll forgive the bit of journalistic licence, it should of course read many young men of U-20, but one couldn’t resist the opportunity to include a reference to the rebel ballad best performed – in my humble opinion – by Ronnie Drew. Anyway, you get the gist. Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric has…

It is not as bad as first imagined
MEATH… 1-21 CORK… 1-23 If it looks too good to be true, it generally is. For about five minutes of this cracking NFL Div. 2 encounter at Pairc Ui Rinn, it apprared Meath were once again going to pull off the seemingly impossible and steal a victory. Alas Ciaran Caulfield’s valiant two point effort dropped…

Flynn has the final say again as Meath underpin progression
MEATH… 1-20 LOUTH… 0-22 Call it guts, knowhow, balls or whatever you want. The bottom line is that this Meath team has copious amounts of that something which has always enabled those in green and gold to go above and beyond and prove they’re as good as anybody. Now, the said qualities have a couple…

Musical chairs again ahead of Round 3
It’s a case of he stepped out, and he stepped in again for Meath ahead of Saturday evening’s National Football League reunion with Louth at Croke Park. In essence, that means that the Royal County have reverted to the side originally named to take on Cavan nearly a fortnight ago. Meaning that James Conlon –…

Super Smyth sparkles as Meath brilliantly steady the ship
MEATH…2-14 DUBLIN…1-04 Do not adjust your screens. The score before you is indeed correct. Some turnaround from 0-10 to 2-16 on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Alright, alright, romantic dreaming aside, the manner in which the Royal ladies rebounded after last week’s disappointment against Galway was impressive in itself. That, combined with the fact that…

It only takes a minute lads!
MEATH…2-17 CAVAN…1-18 My obsession with and love for farming and machinery, particularly classic or vintage or classic iterations thereof, is something which I hope is still in me even when the pulse is gone. That said, February 1st in a darkening Breffni Park might seem a curious time to be musing on such things, but…

Meath Shine brightest on murky day to exile their opponents
MEATH…1-20 LONDON…1-10 There was something ironically apt about the Shine twins, Daire and Tom, being to the fore as Meath defied the murky conditions in Trim to open their National Hurling League campaign off to an impressive start against the Exiles. In so doing, Johnny Greville’s side put to bed the memory of last year’s…

The Mighty Flynn gets Meath off to a flyer
MEATH…0-19 DERRY…1-13 Little fish are sweet. A bit of history being made into the bargain never hurts either. The latter being applicable on two fronts. Firstly, on a personal level, as it was the first time yours truly was at a match (that finished) under the bulbs in GAA HQ. And secondly, in the first…
