Robbie Brennan’s first interview as Meath senior football manager
Robbie Brennan sits down with Meath Co Committee P.R.O. Brian Kelly for his first interview since his appointment as successor to Colm O’Rourke. In a wide ranging discussion, the new boss discusses his own Meath lineage, the unique place his dad Pat holds in the Wolfe Tones club, growing up as a Meath man in…

Gillespie addition gives Brennan’s band local bite
When news of Robbie Brennan’s appointment as Meath senior football manager broke on Thursday evening last, the point was made in this space that labelling of the new boss as an outside manager would be well wide of the mark. With his dad Pat occupying a position of reverence with the Wolfe Tones club having…

The standard Dunboyne initiation that gave so much more in return
From as far back as when I was in Primary school, my powers of recall were often a topic of discussion. Especially if the subject matter was either sport or farming related. Even though to some of the assembled audience, mention of either would constitute fountains of useless information. Be that as it may, I…

Trying to stop a tsunami with a mop and bucket

However, that the matter has come to this is a horrendous indictment of GAA leadership…

Evidently nothing learned since 2010
It may be time for the GAA to go and learn from other sports again. Recently, this corner learned that both American Football and Basketball have in their arsenal a transgression called ‘Delay Of Game’. It means exactly what it says on the tin. Penalty for which, in the latter at least, means free throws…

Chaotic catastrophe in the life of Brian a betrayal of players everywhere
On several occasions in the not too distant past, this corner has enviously pined that one’s own club would be operating at a similar level to the horribly titled ‘Super Clubs’. Without getting into the nuts and bolts of what affords the clubs in question the dubious honour, at a very basic level, it refers…

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…

Wintry Sundays while the sun’s still shining
I only saw Brian Mullins playing once. It will probably come as a surprise to many that the once blonde colossus was seen at all. It just happened to be my second year going to matches and, as far as can be recalled, it was Brian’s final match. Tiernach and Robbie Gilbert have been family…
