Vineyard masters come up trumps for Brennan’s braves
MEATH…1-24 DERRY…1-20 If the old adage about wine getting better with age has any credence to it, Meath fans will be dreaming of what may be still to come from Donal Keogan and Bryan Menton after the two great warriors of their generation delivered Herculean efforts as Robbie Brennan’s brave lads silenced a lot of…

Sombre Sunday a painful reality check
They say it’s the hope that kills you. Through a certain lens, that’s a very easy stance to understand. However, from another viewpont, if you didn’t have the hope, would the wheels keep turning? In my case, the answer to the immediately above, the definitive is most certainly no. Though the thing is, we, as…

It’s the ones that blindside you that sting the most
MEATH…1-24 CORK…0-30 Reference to being blindsided is not meant in terms of the overall result. These teams are very evenly matched. With never more than a kick of the ball between them. So it was again, with the irony being that John Cleary’s crew didn’t need a goal to pull off a win that –…

Royals shuffle the deck in search of Cork conquest
After what feels like the longest five weeks in history – to me at least – Meath’s senior footballers return to championship action with a clean slate tomorrow evening in the first round of the All Ireland SFC when the latest chapter in the current incarnation of the age old rivalry will play out in…

Same force head for the Faithful County
Having hit a dozen goals in their last two outings, Meath’s Minor footballers face into their third consecutive game on the road with an unchanged ensemble from that which defeated Hugh Kenny’s Wicklow in Aughrim seven days ago. Hence Syddan’s Tomas Dillon retains his place at left corner forward having started as a late replacement…

Eat, sleep, win, repeat?
The above is exactly how manager Cathal O’Bric and the Meath U-20 footballers will be hoping it will be when they tackle Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge as they strive to qualify for a third successive Dalata Hotel Group Leinster U-20 FC Final. The headline stems from the fact that the Royal…

Turkey shoot in the Garden
MEATH…6-23 WICKLOW…0-05 Another win, another half dozen goals. The potential it was always felt there was within this young bunch of Meath footballers as being so. That’s about as much as you can say about Meath’s Leinster MFC Preliminary QF victory tonight without seeming disingenuous. The home side actually opened the brigther in Aughrim and…

Leave Eoghan Frayne alone!
No matter in what facet of life it may be, whenever something goes wrong, there has to be a fall guy or girl, doesn’t there? Whether that be how Brian Cowen and the late Brian Lenihan were vilified and excoriated even though they were forced into signing up to a bailout the country didn’t need…
