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…

Meath go with strongest team available
If National League team announcements are worth the paper or screens they are written on, Meath have gone with the strongest combination available to them for Saturday’s National League opener against Derry in Croke Park. That means, despite missing Summerhill’s Leinster Club SFC encounter with Athy nearly three months ago, Eoghan Frayne captains the side…

Yet on Monday night last at Meath GAA headquarters in Dunganny the draws for this year’s incarnation – as well as the other football championships – took place. As a result of which, the undoubted…

A Lifetime In The Pairc – Part 3
About two hours prior to commencement of production of this piece, I came across a breaking news piece by my colleague Fergal Lynch. One photo and about 10 lines, but, possibly the most significant couple of paragraphs the Sports Editor has keyboarded in his near 30 years with the Meath Chronicle. So momentous was it,…
