In what must be seen as a nod of satisfaction with the form and confidence in and within her team, Jenny Rispin has again named the same Meath team to take on Kerry in Saturday night’s All Ireland Ladies SFC quarter final in Tralee. Since the sides met in the Brendan Martin Cup Final 51… Read More Same again for second half of Super Saturday
Meath… 0-12 Donegal… 1-10 Why or how Milwall ever came up with their infamous “We are Milwall, nobody likes us, we don’t care” chant is beyond me. It’s not as if they were ever any good. Affixing the same mantra to Meath football teams is far easier to understand. Reason being none other than the… Read More Time to invoke the siege mentality
When St Peter’s College, Dunboyne opened in 1994, I was involved in the formation of the first Gaelic football teams to represent the school. In the first matches the school ever played, both lads and ladies teams took to the field decked out in red t-shirts procured hastily from Dunnes Stores. By the time both… Read More There’s only one form of protest they understand
If there’s a sound system being piped into the Meath Ladies dressing room, you suspect Willie Nelson would be atop the playlist from Spotify at presently – I can’t wait to be on the road again. I do not know the ins and outs of what ultimately led to Davy Nelson’s departure as their manager,… Read More Champions ready for the road again
How oft have you heard it said, when the bovine excrement hits the fan, go back to basics. To what’s known best and trusted. This corner has no intention of going into the nuts and bolts of why Davy Nelson and his team stepped down. Quite simply because they are not known. Nor do they… Read More Rispin returns to steady Royal ship
Meath… 0-08 Dublin… 1-11 Defending Lidl National Football League and TG4 All Ireland Champions Meath will be hoping it turns out to be a case of ‘Will come on for the run’ after a disappointing start to their 2023 season at DCU St Claire’s this evening. Stacey Grimes, Niamh O’Sullivan and Olivia Callan were late… Read More Rusty Royals will hopefully come on for the run
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… Read More Chaotic catastrophe in the life of Brian a betrayal of players everywhere
It’s an unfortunate back handed compliment that, when you’re the best at what you do, there’s always somebody waiting to knock you off your perch. When you don’t disappear fast enough, they get ratty and try to dislodge you by nefarious means. As my late father correctly observed about a certain political party, if they… Read More Forget Milwall, we need that chant for ourselves
1996 was some year for me. My first full summer with a powered wheelchair, Meath winning the All Ireland and da getting our first van which meant the power chair could be brought everywhere. That hadn’t always been the case. Of greater significance than any of the above, however, was the construction of the flat… Read More Creating greatness all in a day’s work for gentleman Murray
