There’s no instruction manual for captaincy
It’s funny, the things that pop into your mind when looking for solace. Actually, that’s not the term. It’s more reassurance. Hope. I’m sure, like me, there were plenty of people a tad surprised at Robbie Brennan’s nomination of Eoghan Frayne and Ciaran Caulfield as captain and vice captain respectively for his first campaign working…

Lough Crew Gaels are having their best season to date in the Meath Regional Football Championship Sponsored by Brady’s Skoda and Ideal Bathrooms and will be hoping to go through undefeated when tackling a Tara side which have, as yet, been unable to mine a victory this season.

Sideline Cuts – 36
Anton is the ladies new man One of the finest Meath hurlers I have seen in my lifetime, Kilmessan’s Anton O’Neill has been confirmed as the new manager of the county Intermediate camogie team. Our top adult team in other words. O’Neill takes over from Gary Cole and Tom Moloney after they themselves stepped in…

The race for Richie is under starter’s orders (updated 11.40am 22/10/24)
It may make me a bit of an oddball, but I tend to be a champion of matters which others belittle or ridicule. See the Railway Cup, the International Rules Series or the scandalously shafted Tommy Murphy Cup. The Brady’s Skoda-sponsored Meath Regional Football Championship is another such gem. The brainchild of Colm O’Rourke and…

Gillespie addition gives Brennan’s band local bite
When news of Robbie Brennan’s appointment as Meath senior football manager broke on Thursday evening last, the point was made in this space that labelling of the new boss as an outside manager would be well wide of the mark. With his dad Pat occupying a position of reverence with the Wolfe Tones club having…

How the hell did we end up here?
I can’t believe this piece is having to be produced as it will unfold. Current feelings are perfectly encapsulated in the headline above. Though it could scarcely be deemed a shock either. Given that, as has unfortunately been pointed out ad nauseum in this space over the past few weeks, we’ve been here before. With…

Take your points and the goals won’t matter
MEATH…2-12 KERRY…3-05 The equation was simple for the Meath camogie team at Rathmolyon on Saturday afternoon, and in the end so was the solution. Nothing other than a win would suffice for Gary Cole and Tommy Moloney’s team if last year’s run deep into the All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship is to be repeated. And,…

A hurried, whispered act of contrition and the firing breaks out again”. If you are a long time supporter of this space, thank you, firstly, but,…
