When you’re neither up nor down
Meath…0-09 Kerry…2-18 A Kerry-bred friend of mine residing in these parts posted a photo on social media this (Monday) morning of his young daughter with the great Tom O’Sullivan on the Pairc Tailteann pitch after Kerry had done what most people expected them to do. Albeit with far too much ease than was comfortable for…

‘Tis not the defeat but the manner of it which hurts the most
MEATH…0-09 LOUTH…3-10 Of course it had to happen sometime. And when it did, there could be no qualms about it. Louth were much the better side and thoroughly deserving of their win. Indeed, considering their Blitzkrieg start, the Wee County would be entitled to feel a little underwhelmed that they didn’t kick on to a…

Three changes as O’Rourke era breaks new ground
The Meath team to take on Louth in the first round of the All Ireland SFC Series at the home of Inniskeen Grattans GAA (Monaghan) on Saturday evening shows three changes from that which lost to Dublin on April 14th.

Meath survive rough and tumble to advance
MEATH… 4-08 LAOIS… 1-10 Eamon Armstrong’s goal in the first of seven minutes of injury time gave the full time score a fairer reflection of Meath’s superiority – particularly in the second half – of this tempestuous Leinster U-20 FC quarter final in Ashbourne. Tempers initially frayed towards the end of normal time when Conor…

One change ahead of Laois showdown
The very exciting Shaun Leonard takes over from Rian Stafford in the only alteration to the Meath team ahead of tonight’s Leinster U-20 FC last eight encounter in Ashbourne. Kilmainhamwood’s Stafford was one of the stars of the Royal County’s opening night victory over Westmeath at the same venue two weeks ago and had started…

Reality bites but if you look for it there’s hope there…
MEATH… 0-12 DUBLIN… 3-19 It’s 2:49am, and the wind and rain are beating off the window like a night in November. But it’s literally midway through April. And Meath’s quest for a Leinster SFC crown now officially gone into a 15th year. It simply doesn’t feel right. Not the result – there could be absolutely…

The good, the worrying and the unforeseen
MEATH… 3-19 LONGFORD… 3-12 I’ve no doubt that when Longford raided the Meath net for a double helping of ‘majors’ late on in the action at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, the naysayers and doom mongers were convinced their sh*** didn’t smell. The smug bleating could almost be heard carrying on the often ferocious winds of…

Stafford from the ‘Wood points the way
MEATH… 0-18 WESTMEATH… 2-05 I know, I know. But the headline couldn’t be resisted. At the time of typing it was just literally confirmed to me that Rian is indeed a nephew of Brian , but, seeing a Stafford from Kilmainhamwood kicking frees on Meath team was bound to stir a soul’s emotions. Memories. Possibilities.…

Momentum leaves no time for adjustment
Meath… 1-06 Kildare… 1-18 In the final race at one of the smaller National Hunt tracks in the UK on Wednesday evening, the name of one of the participants jumped off the screen at me on Wednesday evening – I Play County – now read on… There’s not a young lad or young lady in…
