Timber bolstered Tones up the revs to fell champs
WOLFE TONES…1-14 SUMMERHILL…0-12 There are teams, or, depending on the sporting code, individual competitors, who, once they get near the business end of any competition, their ascent to the absolute pinnacle thereof can justifiably be taken as a given. Now read on… Think Tiger Woods or Mike Tyson in their respective pomp or the great…

Spirits in the sky send the ‘Lough sailing into final
BALLINLOUGH…1-18 ST VINCENT’S…1-15 As many of you will know, it’s customary for pieces written in tribute to appear in this space when somebody held dear and/or greatly admired are called to the conference room far away. Indeed, there’s an exceedingly difficult one in the works here as well as what you are currently reading. However,…

Lack of expectation allows for freedom of expression
DONAGHMORE/ASHBOURNE…1-14 RATOATH…0-12 My late father imparted a nugget of advice a long time ago that was as timeless as it was priceless. That being the reality that “You never see a bookie on a bicycle”. Inference being that when the turf accountants chalk up odds on a given event they very seldom get it wrong.…

Personnel might change but template stays the same
NAVAN O’MAHONYS…3-17 ST PATRICK’S…2-11 The following is meant in the most complimentary terms possible. In a sporting sense, Navan O’Mahonys were the bane of Myles Fahey’s existence. Our late, great and loved clubman here in Dunboyne from Claremorris, managed teams at every age group from U-12 to Minor inclusive which lost county finals to the…

Kelly on song as old hands just fall short for Gaels
NA FIANNA…2-10 SIMONSTOWN GAELS…0-13 It’s genuinely hard to know where to begin a summary of this enthralling Meath SFC Relegation Final on one of the outfields at Dunganny on Friday evening. With the hallowed turf of Devenish Park, Pitch 6 being reserved for the glut of Championship semi finals to come over the next 48…

SIDELINE CUTS – 49
Sleeping Giants Awakening? Even with the extensive coverage of the action in the Meath county football championships in this space in recent days, there was still more which could have been undertaken but I had neither the physical or emotional energy to take it on. For reasons which may well become obvious in due course.…

Champs flex muscles with ominous force
SUMMERHILL…0-30 ST COLMCILLE’S…1-16 At some stage in life, it’s probable we’ve all been told never to judge a book by its cover. The wise words were most certainly apt for deployment in relation to this final quarter final of the Fairyhouse Steel Meath SFC for 2026, played in St Loman’s Park, Trim on Sunday evening.…

O’Brien lifts it and shifts Ratoath past the neighbours
RATOATH…2-18 DUNSHAUGHLIN/ROYAL GAELS…2-16 Ratoath businessman Gabriel O’Brien has what is perhaps the leading crane hire business in the country, which operates under the advertising slogan “Don’t lift it, let O’Brien shift it”. Now read on… Whether Bobby of the same surname is one of Gabriel’s gang or not I am not sure, but the experienced…

Cometh the hour, cometh the Moran
WOLFE TONES…1-12 RATHKENNY…0-13 If memory serves me correctly, Kyle Moran came on as a substitute in a Meath SFC knockout game a few years back and netted a crucial goal for Wolfe Tones as they progressed to a Meath SFC Final against Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels. As it happened, before the corresponding phase of competition for the…

Furze have the horsepower to dig out safety
(Last edited 12:50pm on 21/9/26 to correct several typos. Mea Culpa). Seneschalstown…1-26 Simonstown Gaels…2-19 (AET) It’s difficult if not impossible now to visualise a world without the ability to stream events online. Either in real time or to be able to go back and re-watch them after the fact. In a sporting sense, the advent…
