Seconds bring some cheer on rollercoaster day
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…2-10 Summerhill…0-14 As was the case in the first stanza of the club football championships, Dunboyne’s Intermediate side lifted the spirits in the camp after the seniors had suffered another disappointing reversal earlier in the day against the same opposition, also at Pairc Tailteann. In keeping with the two matches which preceded it…

Stop-start Meath keep ticking over to advance
MEATH…1-19 LONGFORD…3-10 My late father would have called it a performance that was like the Curate’s Egg – good in spots. But the Meath Minors were good in enough spots to keep themselves ticking over as they saw off the challenge of a plucky home side in Clonguish on Thursday night to advance to the…

As you were for the Minors
After a 12 point win over Westmeath 12 days ago, it comes as little or surprise that Meath’s management have given a resounding vote of confidence to those who were on duty on that occasion ahead of tonight’s Leinster MFC Round 2 encounter against Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s Park, Newbridge, where the action throws…

There’s no instruction manual for captaincy
It’s funny, the things that pop into your mind when looking for solace. Actually, that’s not the term. It’s more reassurance. Hope. I’m sure, like me, there were plenty of people a tad surprised at Robbie Brennan’s nomination of Eoghan Frayne and Ciaran Caulfield as captain and vice captain respectively for his first campaign working…

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…

I’ve had worse weeks!
Whether the following applies to participants or not cannot be confirmed, but, either in a working capacity or as a fan, there are competitors who, when an entity in which a vested interest is held, are facing off against, are absolutely dreaded. Example – Navan O’Mahonys in underage football during my formative years of getting…

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…
