Whatever plan you have, they’ll come up with a better one
Limerick… 2-24 Galway… 1-18 Evidence that good players don’t always make good managers is ample. No need to name names but there have quite a few Galacticos who’ve flopped worse than a Premier League footballer trying to con their way to a penalty. Henry Shefflin absolutely does not belong in the above category. He couldn’t…

System partly vindicated but still needs tweaking
What’s in a name? Quite a lot as it happens. Partly to see what sort of reaction it would receive, when doing my Facebook Check-In for Meath’s match against Wexford, it was referred to as the All Ireland IFC quarter final. Disappointingly, nobody took the bait. That’s what it should be called, though. As should…

The best day of the sporting year
Dear Larry McCarthy, Please leave well enough alone. Thank you. The dust had hardly settled on the best day of the sporting year when the outgoing GAA President started blurting about fixing it that the Leinster and Munster SHC Finals wouldn’t be on the same day again. Utter idiocy. It’s not as if people attending…

Johnny Cash was right about Sundays!
If you’re involved in GAA – or most likely any sport – it’s a fairly safe wager that you’ll experience more defeat than victory. In both 1997 and 2002, the number of finals Dunboyne teams lost hit double figures. Undoubtedly the most painful loss of the lot, however, was actually in the Junior Hurling Championship…

Guts and effort not enough to trump instinct and knowhow
Limerick… 0-27 Galway… 1-21 Inches. That’s often all the separates glory from gloom. If the break for you, it’ll be the former scenario. The ball breaking one inch the wrong way and your dreams are dashed. Finite margins. Early on, Conor Cooney fails to rise a 25 metre free, wasted. HawkEye takes a point apiece…

Jones listed on bench for Royals
Ronan Jones is a surprise addition to the Meath substitutes bench for tomorrow’s NFL Div. 2 encounter with Down at Pairc Tailteann. The St Peter’s, Dunboyne clubman has been plagued by a succession of shoulder, arm and ankle injuries for some time now which greatly curtailed his contribution to his club’s run to the Meath…

Ratoath men return for Royals
The Ratoath trio of Conor McGill, Bryan McMahon and Joey Wallace return to the Meath starting 15 for tomorrow’s Allianz National Football League opener against Galway. McGill in particular will be a welcome addition to the touring party having been injured in the local club hurling championship at the back end of last year. Robin…
