If it aint broke leave it alone
Meath have announced the same starting 15 as that which began against Clare two weeks ago ahead of making the long trip to Owenbeg to take on Derry in Act III of this year’s Allianz NFL on Saturday evening. The game will be shown live on RTE and has a 5PM throw in. Essentially, what…

Only mandatory change for Meath
Meath manager Seoirse Bulfin has made one change to the team which overcame Wicklow last week in advance of tomorrow’s NHL Div. 2B encounter away to Sligo. That which has been forced upon him owing to Longwood’s Damien Healy being unavailable after being harshly sent off against the Garden County. His place being filled by…

Meath squadron for lunchtime shootout
Meath’s hurlers face an uphill task if they are to advance to the Final of the restructured Kehoe Cup. With the top side in the group being declared the winner of the trophy, the Royals – currently sitting third – have to win, and win big, against their visitors to Dunganny at lunchtime tomorrow (1p.m.)…

Meath test strength in depth with experimental line up
Meath manager Seoirse Bulfin is clearly intent on testing the strength in depth available to him having made wholesale changes for tomorrow’s Kehoe Cup encounter against Carlow.

Offaly poor form sees Louth into Final of farcical O’Byrne Cup
Offaly manager Liam Kearns should practice what he preaches. Either that or consider the meaning of put up or shut up. Earlier this week, the Kerry native had a right whinge about other counties conceding walkovers in the Bord Na Mona O’Byrne Cup. In a way, he may have had a point. If he had,…

Midweek dead rubber fixture cancelled
The scheduled Bord Na Mona O’Byrne Cup third round encounter between Wexford and Louth – slated for Hollymount in the South East – has been cancelled as it would have transpired to be meaningless. By virtue of their victories over Westmeath and Kildare, Mickey Harte’s men had already qualified for a last four face off…

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. By my reckoning, Meath made 13 changes from the side which defeated Carlow on Wednesday night. Naturally, in such…

Podge points a dozen to secure Seoirse’s maiden win
Meath…0-18 Wicklow…1-11 Padraig O’Hanrahan replaced Nicky Potterton before the start of this Kehoe Cup opening round encounter and accounted for two thirds of Meath’s scores as Seoirse Bulfin’s side came away from Bray Emmets with an encouraging win. This corner has seen other media outlets labour on the fact that the majority of the Ratoath…
