Meath get new season under way with useful blowout
MEATH… 4-13 REGIONAL ALL STARS… 0-14 The ‘new normal’ in the GAA never seems to run short of ways to leave you scratching your head.

The second edition of the Meath Regional Football Championship All Star selection, generously sponsored by Brady’s Skoda, has been revealed.

Bowden strikes up the right Bru after a belter
BRU NA BOINNE…1-11 BOYNE VALLEY…0-14 If one was to go by team names alone, this second round Regional Football Championship encounter had all the makings of a local derby.
