Return of county men fails to inspire
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-15 Summerhill…1-24 The return of county U-20s Eoin McCrudden, Charlie Gallagher and John Harkin failed to provide the expected spark as Dunboyne fell to a second defeat in the FL Div. 1 on Saturday evening last away to the county champions.

On the road again as we get back on the horse
To venture into Rebel territory or not, that is the conundrum whirring here after the fixtures for the opening round of this year’s All Ireland SFC were confirmed this morning.

Same force head for the Faithful County
