Rusty Royals will hopefully come on for the run
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 […]

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’.

Before anyone says anything, the majestic achievements of Eamonn Murray’s charges over the past two seasons merit equal if not greater commendation than the seven All Ireland […]

Duggan delivers another Dublin day out
Meath…1-12 Galway…1-11 Emma Duggan’s long range point with fifteen seconds left on the clock sent Meath back to Croke Park as the All Ireland Champions overcame the most stern of their credentials to date at Tullamore’s O’Connor Park this evening. Eamonn Murray’s charges proved here that they had all necessary components which characterise true champions. […]

Justice for Meath and Cork out of Tyrone’s misfortune
They say whoever runs the control tower far away never closes one door without openning another. This evening, confimation of the postponement of the second All Ireland semi final between Kerry and Tyrone owing to a spate of Covid-19 cases has had a silver lining from a local perspective. It was wholly unjust that the […]
