Rugged rurals often set the stiffest exams
Sadly, however, that was only a fraction of their worries as, shortly before the break, exciting attacker Sean Delaney crumpled with a ghastly looking knee injury and only minutes after the resumption, wing back Cian Smith similarly had to be assisted off the field.

Fine comeback gets Dunboyne off on a winning note
St Peter’s…4.15 St Ultan’s/Cortown Gaels…2-14 Having lost out narrowly to long standing rivals St Colmcille’s in the Div. 1 MFL Final, the black and ambers will have justifiably high hopes of being right in the mix of contenders for the Delaney Cup a little further on down the road. However, while a seven point victory…

Dunboyne rise and follow Charlie to scrape late draw
St Peter’s Dunboyne… 1-14 Rathkenny… 1-14 Charlie Gallagher’s booming free two minutes into stoppage time rescued a draw for Dunboyne at the end of this exciting Fairyhouse Steel SFC encounter at Dunsany on Thursday evening. The towering teenager was his side’s principal source of scores throughout the contest, but, having burst into a 1-04 to…

Patchy display leaves Peter’s pointless
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-13 Wolfe Tones…1-17 Home side Dunboyne got off to a flying start in the basking Tuesday evening heat, opening up a lead of 0-05 to 0-00 before their old rivals in purple and gold completely dominated the remainder of the first half with Caolan and Fiachra Ward and Tomas O’Reilly leading a blitz…

Return of county men fails to inspire
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-15 Summerhill…1-24 The return of county U-20s Eoin McCrudden, Charlie Gallagher and John Harkin failed to provide the expected spark as Dunboyne fell to a second defeat in the FL Div. 1 on Saturday evening last away to the county champions. Only a point, 0-09 to 0-10, separated the sides at the short…

Meath go through the gears in second half to see off dogged Laois
MEATH… 3-12 LAOIS… 0-10 The final score states there were 11 points between the sides at the end, but don’t fooled. Inclination might be to think that this was a fairly routine night’s work for Cathal O’Bric’s team, but it was anything but. Now, as if to directly contradict the above statement, Meath never looked…

Many young men of 20 will aim to take Meath to final hat-trick
If you’ll forgive the bit of journalistic licence, it should of course read many young men of U-20, but one couldn’t resist the opportunity to include a reference to the rebel ballad best performed – in my humble opinion – by Ronnie Drew. Anyway, you get the gist. Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric has…

Cahill crescendo carries Meath to All Ireland semi final
MEATH…3-20 MONAGHAN…3-17 The completion of a hat-trick by Dunsany’s Stephen Cahill added another sensational chapter to the Meath encyclopaedia of escapism as the county’s Minor footballers advanced to the Tier II All Ireland semi final after emerging from this pulsating encounter at Carrickmacross on Saturday morning. The thing is though, unless you were related to…

Big Gally Jnr is on point to win a classic
MEATH… 2-17 GALWAY… 2-16 Inches. How often have you heard it quoted, here and in other places? Al Paccino’s Inches speech from Any Given Sunday. Well, lads and lassies, it’s about to get another run out. Before getting into the nuts and bolts of that though, it is surely a gross indictment of those behind…
