    Kinlough Ko’d by the county’s cruciate curse

    St Peter’s, Dunboyne’s Jack Kinlough has become the latest Meath GAA star to be afflicted with the cruciate ligament injury curse which has blighted the county in the recent past. The talented youngster regrettably following in the unwanted footsteps of Aoife Minogue, Jordan Morris, minor player Luke Kenny and former Ladies team captain Maire O’Shaughnessy…

  • The Late John Hales

    The Late John Hales

    Leading National Hunt racehorse owner John Hales has passed away. The deceased, who was 85, made his money through the Golden Bear Toys company he co-founded in 1979, which went on to produce products from major children’s shows such as Teletubbies, Basil Brush, Thomas the Tank Engine and In The Night Garden, owned some champions…

  • Land of minnows and millions – Part I

    Land of minnows and millions – Part I

    “Ah here now, before you start onto me about the state of our dressing rooms, what about that ould hut ye had with the leaky roof”. It’s the late summer or early autumn of 1996. The buzz is back in Meath football as Sean Boylan’s side hurtle towards what must be regarded as the county’s…

  • There’s loyalty in them there hills

    There’s loyalty in them there hills

    “Sam’s for the Hills” were the immortal words uttered by Anthony Molloy and now etched into Irish sporting folklore after he lifted Sam Maguire on behalf of Donegal for the first time in 1992. It also went on to be the title of a book co-written by Damien Dowds thereafter. The victory, sensationally fashioned by…

    Hopefully Meath onto a winner with new sponsor

    The link between sport and farming has often been articulated in this space. Primarily because they are – or at least were – central tenets of life for the occupant of this seat. Then, there’s the fact Horse Racing comes under the remit of the Department Of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Why such is…

  • Getting a fill up of hope from Longford’s finest

    Getting a fill up of hope from Longford’s finest

    YouTube means many things to many people. Entertainment, education, a platform to promote themselves and/or their businesses. In my case, it’s probably a combination of all of the above. Except in my case, it is probably more therapy above all of possible uses listed up to now. Though even at that, it can be something…

  • Things you don’t expect to see

    Things you don’t expect to see

    Mention has often been made in this space previously of the fact that when this writer was growing up, we only had RTE 1 and 2 on the television at home. Now read on… Thus, it was only when going with Anna and her now husband Kieran to the home of his parents, Denis and…

  • Chip in for a great local day out

    Chip in for a great local day out

    What was the first price you can remember for a packet of Tayto Cheese And Onion? For me, it was an old 10p. Back then, they were considered a major treat – usually during or after a Meath match or if some of the clan happened to be in the local watering hole it was…

  • Cut down your hunger at The Hatchet Inn

    Anyone who has lost a parent will surely attest that it’s often the smallest things, the minute alterations that have to take place in the wake thereof which wallop the hardest. Having lost my da only three months ago, a plethora of examples could’ve been furnished here. However, though it might seem trivial, re-arranging my…

  • Airfield Estate And Farm

    Airfield Estate And Farm

    And now for something completely different. Myself and herself had time to kill last week and while yours truly would’ve been far more enamored, initially at least, with the prospect of going harvest spotting, once the word ‘Farm’ was mentioned in the description of the intended venue she had me won over. This, however, was…
