Spuds are only as good as what you serve with them
Meath…1-11 Dublin…2-19 When Sean Boylan took over as Meath manager in October of 1982, the Royal County hadn’t beaten Dublin in quite some time. Whether it was quite as long as is the current chasm I am unsure, but, in an effort to re-invigorate his then charges in readiness for the battle with the two…

With it being the first weekend of club hurling action in the county, it’s a quiet one on the football front, though our two Minor teams do belatedly get their seasons underway and there’s also the small matter of a certain local derby in the National Football League in which our club will be very…

Royals reserve final berth with a game to spare
Meath…2-17 Tyrone…0-08 Second half goals from Eamon Og O’Donnchadh and substitute Paddy Barnwell put a coat of gloss on a polished Meath performance in O’Neill’s Healy Park, Omagh as the visitors booked their place in the Allianz NHL Div. 2B Final with a game to spare.

A hard habit to break
Meath…2-11 Limerick…0-17 In what turned out to be Mick O’Dowd’s last game as Meath manager, his charges led Derry by seven points at half time in an All Ireland SFC Qualifier before capitulating spectacularly after half time. This corner cannot recall whether it had happened prior to that, but it certainly has been a habit…
