Duggan delivers another Dublin day out
Meath…1-12 Galway…1-11 Emma Duggan’s long range point with fifteen seconds left on the clock sent Meath back to Croke Park as the All Ireland Champions overcame the most stern of their credentials to date at Tullamore’s O’Connor Park this evening. Eamonn Murray’s charges proved here that they had all necessary components which characterise true champions.…

McCormack is the Premier Iron Man as Tipp stun Brave Faithful
Tipperary… 1-17 Offaly… 1-16 Leo O’Connor must absolutely hate being involved in All Ireland Finals at this stage. It was he, Cantona-esque, with collar up, who essayed over Limerick’s final score in the 1994 decider before Offaly manufactured a resurrection to rival anything produced by Our Lord on a Friday long ago. Yesterday, he was…

DriveThru Sports Show – Ep. 24
The first one of these I’ve done in a very long time and I will admit its existence is purely down to the fact that I hadn’t the energy to type anything after watching an epic day’s sport in Croke Park. Sit back, enjoy and please like and share if you think it’s decent!

Things going to script is a one way street
It’s strangely apt to be writing the following just as the Tailteann Cup semi finals are down for decision.

SIDELINE CUTS – 19
HARRY’S HEROICS ALL IN VAIN Now is not the time for a major analysis or critique. For personal reasons which should be fairly obvious. Meath’s defeat in Ennis last night is still far too raw. Emotionally and in other ways. Suffice to say that the end result was bitterly disappointing. Have got off to a…

Being old fashioned might become the norm!
Fr Dougal is trapped on the explosive milk float, Ted has the lads from the neighbouring island over to help come up with a plan to rescue the dimwitted Curate. After all sorts of tomfoolery, it finally dawned on some of them to put a brick on the accelarator. Enabling Dougal to get off the…

Seeing too much of yourself in others
My mind often fluctuates in thought regarding how Meath’s greatest ever team – that at their zenith between 1986 and 1991 – would fair out in the Gaelic football of today. Part of me thinks they wouldn’t last jig time owing to a combination of snowflakes having the game sanitised to a point of no…

Get the tiers in quick to avoid more tears
At some point during Pat Comer’s excellent video diary of Galway’s 1998 All Ireland SFC win – A Year ‘Til Sunday, then Tribesman wing forward Shay Walsh said that the season was going “A whole lot better than being beaten by crap teams in Tuam”. Now read on… A few people who were very dear…
