Many young men of 20 will aim to take Meath to final hat-trick
If you’ll forgive the bit of journalistic licence, it should of course read many young men of U-20, but one couldn’t resist the opportunity to include a reference to the rebel ballad best performed – in my humble opinion – by Ronnie Drew. Anyway, you get the gist. Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric has…

Parity of esteem? Particles of it more like
It’s curios how tastes change as life goes on. Literally and in terms of life in general. When I was younger, coleslaw, potato salad, Branston Pickles or beetroot wouldn’t be touched with a barge pole. On the other hand, though, now, at the appropriate time of year, a feed can’t be had without some or…

Shine returns to brighten Meath’s prospects
Having been an absentee for the defeat to Westmeath in Mullingar a fortnight ago, Tom Shine will be a welcome sight on the horizon for Johnny Greville et al as will the home comforts of St Loman’s Park in Trim as Meath aim to get their NHL Div. 2 campaign back on track against Derry…

Believe half of what you see and a lower percentage of what you hear
On paper at least, Meath have made only one change ahead of Sunday’s NFL Div. 2 Round 4 meeting with Cork at Pairc Ui Rinn. But it would be no shock whatsoever if there’s at least one more to go along with it. For what it’s worth, as per what has been published, the one…

Martin I. Kelly – Dunboyne and Dunshaughlin – RIP
It can probably be fairly safely assumed that it was a parent or a similar leadership figure who first planted the love of sport within. It certainly was with yours truly, and while that initially manifested as da bringing me to internal matches involving my own class mates in primary school. That then evolved to…

Youthful Dunboyne fall short
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…1-11 Gaeil Colmcille…2-13 Despite a vastly improved second half showing, a youthful Dunboyne side had to give best to the Kells side who had a good quantity more of established names on show in this Feis Cup opening round encounter at Grangegodden on Saturday afternoon. The home side had most of the heavy…

Meath SH team to play Westmeath in NHL Round 2 – 8/2/26
Johnny Greville has named the same starting 15 as lined out against London ahead of tomorrow’s NHL Div. 2 Round 2 joust against his native county in Mullingar. There are, however, a couple of curios positional switches as well as one alteration among the subs list. Basically, Tom Shine and Eoin Donegan swap positions while…

Meath Minor football manager Trevor Giles and his young charges now know what the road ahead holds for them with the announcement of the Leinster underage championship fixtures for the forthcoming months.

Super Smyth sparkles as Meath brilliantly steady the ship
MEATH…2-14 DUBLIN…1-04 Do not adjust your screens. The score before you is indeed correct. Some turnaround from 0-10 to 2-16 on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Alright, alright, romantic dreaming aside, the manner in which the Royal ladies rebounded after last week’s disappointment against Galway was impressive in itself. That, combined with the fact that…
