    Sloppy Meath hang on for dour stalemate

    Meath… 2-10 Laois… 0-16 Colm O’Rourke’s first home game in charge saw his troops hang on for a draw after seeing a decent lead whittled away in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Baltic Pairc Tailteann.

    Strong second half gives new look Royals encouraging start

    Meath… 0-16 Carlow… 1-09 Meath got their 2023 football season off to a winning start at a windy and wet Netwatch Cullen Park tonight.

    Trusting your own judgement and reserving it on others

    One of the perhaps lesser known drawbacks of dealing with depression, or indeed any mental health difficulty is the ferocity and rapidity with which it can decimate a body’s confidence. Conversely, it can then take millennia to rebuild. Thus, having got myself physically and mentally strong enough to go to the Fairyhouse Winter Festival, there…

    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…
