Inside line eventually dismantle dogged Deise
Meath… 3-17 Waterford… 1-14 In the post detailing team news for Saturday evening’s Tailteann Cup Round 2 encounter in Fraher Field, Dungarvan – from which there were three late changes – reference was made to the 1999 All Ireland JFC Final.

Keeping it in the parish for date with Na Deise
Daithi McGowan replaces his stricken Ratoath colleague Jack Flynn in the only change to the Meath team from last weekend ahead of tomorrow’s Tailteann Cup Round 2 encounter against Waterford in Fraher Field, Dungarvan.

Meath… 1-22 Carlow… 1-09 When I was setting out on my (first) journey doing PR work for St Peter’s Dunboyne – more than a quarter of a century ago – my eyesight was still at a stage where I could cover hurling as well as football. It was an exciting time for the small ball…

Some days even I can’t find the words…
Meath… 0-10 Offaly… 1-11 Posted: 6:15p.m. 23/4/23 Updated: 3:35p.m. 24/4/23 It had to happen some day. Earnest hope was that it wouldn’t be today. For a multiplicity of reasons.

As you were – nobody will want the Breffni blues
Armagh… 1-14 Cavan… 0-10 There are rare occasions when you wish your gut instinct might be wrong. For example, in relation to Neil Robertson’s propensity to find ways not to win the World Snooker Championship. Ditto Rory McIlroy with the US Masters.
