Tom Meyler – Meath and Wexford – RIP
May I extend my most sincere sympathy to Mrs Meyler, Johnny, Tommy, extended family and all in Blackhall Gaels, on Tom’s passing.

When more goals aren’t enough
MEATH… 2-15 KILDARE… 1-20 All anybody wants and should be entitled to is fair play. Meath got nowhere near that from the officials in this Leinster U-20 FC semi final at Cedral St Conleth’s Park. How these referee appointments are arrived at is another topic entirely, but all anbody wants is for the rules to…

Greek Farmers take to the roads
My brother is currently living in Greece and recently sent me the above footage of Greek farmers blockading traffic in protest at the same economic realities which have forced their Irish counterparts and hauliers to engage in similar protest activities. As an aside, seeing all the old Deutz DX Series tractors stirred an emotional volcano…
