A giant step on a journey still in its early stages
MEATH…2-22 OFFALY…0-18 This day seven years ago was obviously Easter Sunday. The day Meath defeated Fermanagh in Pairc Tailteann to seal a return to Div. 1 of the National Football League. The reason I know it had to be the chocolate holiday is because I was in Fairyhouse getting updates via WhatsApp as Andy McEntee…

The Jacks are back – and Meath are as good as
MEATH… 3-24 TYRONE… 2-22 Barring an catastrophic development commensurate with Thierry Henry getting away with the most blatant hand ball in football history, Meath have one foot in the doorway to Div. 1 of the National Football League following this ballsy victory over Tyrone at Croke Park. Every one of us aspires to start anything…

With Captain Mainwairing’s torch we can see the light
MEATH…1-25 OFFALY…0-21 When under the black cloud that is depression, sometimes something as simple as a comedy on the television can start the engine running to start the wheels turning again. However, where people of a certain age group might go for an episode of Friends or The Big Bang Theory or, Lord help us…

Only enforced change for Meath
Aaron Lynch replaces the luckless Jack Kinlough in the only change to the Meath team which saw off the challenge of an accurate Carlow side last Sunday. There are those who would deem the Faithful County favourites for tomorrow’s Leinster SFC encounter, not a difficult stance to understand given the fact that they have just…

A lot done, a lot more to do, glass half full
MEATH… 1-20 MONAGHAN… 1-29 Let’s get the ugly business out of the way first. The four game unbeaten run has come to an end. In all honesty, that such is the case wouldn’t be that big of a shock. Now read on… It is beyond question that Meath have made significant progress thus far this…

Bench boost works the oracle as Meath finish strong
MEATH… 0-12 KILDARE…0-09 Stirring contributions from substitutes Danny Dixon, Aaron Lynch and Ruairi Kinsella catapulted Meath to a vital victory after a typically riveting encounter against their Leinster rivals. You can be sure Meath were keen to lay down a marker early, and duly did so courtesy of quick scores from Eoghan Frayne and Mat…

The tried and trusted prints Meath’s Final ticket
Meath…2-16 Antrim…2-14 Speculation iterated in this space with regard to Colm O’Rourke’s team announcement prior to today’s Tailteann Cup semi final held true as the Meath boss ended up reversing the two changes announced in the original ensemble. Thankfully, though, what didn’t change were the mechanics of winning which have been etched into the DNA…

Another hurdle crossed as Meath Croker bound
Meath… 2-23 Wexford… 0-12 To firstly tidy up the nuts and bolts of the situation, any day you kick 2-23 and keep a clean sheet has to be regarded as a good day’s work. Anyone scoffing ‘it was only Wexford’ obviously hasn’t been following the formbook lately. This was the same Wexford team which scored…

No Gray areas as Meath take care of business
Meath… 1-19 Tipperary… 0-11 In many ways, Meath were on a hiding to nothing this evening. They were expected to win and win well. Having done so, it’s very much a case of taking care of business. If they hadn’t, it would’ve been a case of wigs on the Fair Green. Doubtless, when the locals…

Three new faces as Tailteann takes off
Goalkeeper Sean Brennan, midfielder Conor Gray and corner forward Aaron Lynch will make their Championship debuts for Meath in tomorrow’s Tailteann Cup opener against Tipperary in Navan. Dunderry’s Brennan was a member of a successful county Minor side a few years ago and made his competitive debut earlier in the year in the O’Byrne Cup.…
