Royals reserve final berth with a game to spare
Meath…2-17 Tyrone…0-08 Second half goals from Eamon Og O’Donnchadh and substitute Paddy Barnwell put a coat of gloss on a polished Meath performance in O’Neill’s Healy Park, Omagh as the visitors booked their place in the Allianz NHL Div. 2B Final with a game to spare. On a weekend that, locally at least, was a…

Meath team for Tyrone trip
Meath manager Seoirse Bulfin has shuffled his deck somewhat ahead of tomorrow’s Allianz NHL Div. 2B clash with Tyrone at O’Neill’s Healy Park. The Royal County will be aiming to continue their unbeaten run in the competition. Ace marksman Jack Regan (Kiltale) will lead the attack from the 40, while Seanie Geraghty reverts to midfield…

A hard habit to break
Meath…2-11 Limerick…0-17 In what turned out to be Mick O’Dowd’s last game as Meath manager, his charges led Derry by seven points at half time in an All Ireland SFC Qualifier before capitulating spectacularly after half time. This corner cannot recall whether it had happened prior to that, but it certainly has been a habit…

Two changes for Treaty trip
The Meath team for Sunday’s crucial Allianz NFL clash with Limerick shows two changes from that which lost out to Louth last weekend. Both alterations are enforced, with Seneschalstown’s Cathal Hickey replacing the suspended Harry O’Higgins and the experienced Padraic Harnan making his first appearance of the season. The Moynalvey clubman is listed to start…

Meath self destruct in derby disaster
Meath… 1-12 Louth… 1-15 I only wish our manager’s optimism in his post match comments after Meath had somehow contrived to throw away a hard earned front foot position against Louth in Round 4 of the Allianz NFL at Pairc Tailteann could be shared. When asked by Brendan Cummins about looking down the table rather…

Charlie breaks the curse of the Featured Photo as promotion push goes on
Meath…1-23 Donegal…0-16 Thank you Charlie Ennis. You have hopefully broken the curse of being the featured photo on http://www.boylantalkssport.com whilst also keeping Meath’s push for promotion out of Div. 2B of the Allianz NHL firmly on track. Allow me to explain… The first half of the above, that is. You see, whenever I’m working on…

Time to dust ourselves down and go again
Meath… 1-07 Derry… 2-15 Do you often wonder where certain phrases originate from? Tonight, hope in this seat would be that the mantra will be ‘What doesn’t break you will only leave you stronger’ in the Meath dressing room. Those of us who’ve been around long enough – none more so than the Meath manager…

One change for Meath hurlers
The Meath hurling team to take on Donegal this afternoon (Saturday) shows one change from that which overcame a stern test in Sligo last weekend. As was the case that day also, the alteration is enforced, due to the unavailability of Kyle Donnelly. The versatile Damien Healy slots into the effected berth on the half…

GAA’s priorities where the sun don’t shine
You might think it would be impossible for somebody in a wheelchair to pull a hamstring. Believe me, I can painfully inform you to the contrary. Which is why, the minute Meath’s Shane Walsh went down in the 13th minute of Sunday’s NFL victory over Clare, the reason was all too obvious. Colm O’Rourke’s rage…

A lot done, more to do
Meath… 4-08 Clare… 0-16 Not only was the above one of the greatest political slogans of all time, it also sums up Meath’s positioning in Div. 2 of the Allianz NFL after two rounds perfectly. After last week’s terrific trip to Cork, producing as good if not better again looked like an onerous task. However,…
