An ugly win is a learning win
Meath…0-08 Westmeath…1-03 Even using the most elaborate journalistic or poetic license possible, one would get to turn the sow’s ear of a match into a silk purse. Yet in one way at least, Meath won’t care a jot. Getting back on track after last week’s disapointment against Laois will be all that mattered to John…

Three changes for U-20s
Meath manager John McCarthy has made three changes from the side which lost out to Laois last week ahead of Tuesday evening’s Leinster U-20 quarter final against Westmeath in Ashbourne. Essentially, the triumvirate of alterations equate to three men returning who had started previously in the championship. Billy Hogan in goal, Ciaran Caulfield at wing…

Kinsella kills off the contest with stellar first half
Meath… 2-11 Carlow… 0-04 Dunshaughlin’s Ruairi Kinsella ended this Leinster U-20 FC Round 2 encounter in Ashbourne as a contest well before half time with a tremendous personal haul of 2-2. Meath were 1-06 to 0-01 up after about 15 minutes and when Kinsella took advantage of a wayward kick out to bag his second…

Camogs head for Croker
Meath…1-09 Derry…0-10 For as long as this hack has been on the GAA ‘circuit’, Derry teams have had something of an Indian sign over Meath. The All Ireland SFC semi final of 1987 was before my time and throughout Sean Boylan’s long tenure with the county team I am fairly certain we never overcame the…

Three changes as Carlow come to town
Injuries to goalkeeper Billy Hogan, centre back John O’Regan and wing forward Ciaran Caulfield have forced a shuffling of the decks for the Meath U-20 footballers ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Carlow at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Ballinlough’s Oisin McDermott takes over between the posts, Conor Ennis (Ballinabrackey) replaces O’Regan and the mercurial Hughie Corcoran of Drumbarragh Emmets…

Frayne leads from the front as Meath make winning start
Meath…0-12 Longford…0-04 These are strange times in the GAA. It’s March 21st and there are Provincial Championships under way. In Leinster at least. There’s absolutely no need for such to be the case, and these arrangements will end up creating more problems than it will solve. For now, it is what it is however. What…

Meath make it a fruitless short trip for Cavan
Meath…0-11 Cavan…1-07 While the county’s lady footballers came up short in Ballinlough against Waterford yesterday, 24 hours earlier, Brendan Skehan’s county Camogie team had better luck over the road in Moylagh when they edged out Cavan in their National League Div. 2B encounter. Meath face Derry in their final regulation game at Donaghmore/Ashbourne in what…

The Meath team to take on Antrim tonight in Round 3 of the Leo Murphy Cup has been announced. John McCarthy’s charges are unbeaten after two outings, having drawn with defending All Ireland champions Tyrone and defeated Down in Burren last time out. Throw in at Fr McManus Park, Skryne is at 7.30 and admission…

Battling Meath bag stalemate but no Final berth
Meath…1-07 Longford…0-10 A brace of late points from Trim’s Aaron Lynch earned Meath a deserved share of the spoils in this entertaining O’Byrne Cup encounter played in horrendous wind and rain at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Regrettably, it wasn’t enough to take Colm O’Rourke’s team through to the final of the pre-season competition. By virtue of the fact…
