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…

Scoring diversity the biggest plus as winning run goes on
MEATH… 3-15 LONGFORD… 0-12 Meath repeated their victory of 12 months ago over Longford in Newtownforbes – the home of Clonguish GAA – to complete the group stages of their Dalata Hotels Group Leinster U-20 FC campaign unbeaten. The upshot of which is that they stay on the main road and thereby the shortest route.…

Meath go through the gears in second half to see off dogged Laois
MEATH… 3-12 LAOIS… 0-10 The final score states there were 11 points between the sides at the end, but don’t fooled. Inclination might be to think that this was a fairly routine night’s work for Cathal O’Bric’s team, but it was anything but. Now, as if to directly contradict the above statement, Meath never looked…

An impressive tally in no-win situation
MEATH… 5-19 CARLOW… 2-09 Cathal O’Bric’s Meath U-20 footballers got the county’s quest for a third consecutive provincial final appearance with a 19 point win at Netwatch Dr Cullen Park on Wednesday night. With the greatest respect to the host county, no matter what way the evening went for the young Royals, they were on…

Many young men of 20 will aim to take Meath to final hat-trick
If you’ll forgive the bit of journalistic licence, it should of course read many young men of U-20, but one couldn’t resist the opportunity to include a reference to the rebel ballad best performed – in my humble opinion – by Ronnie Drew. Anyway, you get the gist. Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric has…

O’Bric repeats the same trick – simple but effective
In a development as obvious and unsurprising as ice cream selling well on a hot day, Meath manager Cathal O’Bric has announced the same starting 15 and extended matchday panel ahead of tonight’s final of the Dalata Hotels Group Leinster U-20 FC in Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge. That means that Dunshaughlin’s Fiach Hartigan…

Plenty of positives to be gleaned from last minute defeat
MEATH…2-11 OFFALY…1-15 Before the availability of online betting and the onset of Covid-19, it was part of the daily routine for whatever wheels were transporting me at the time to roll up the town and I’d stick on my Lucky 15 or whatever other multiple took my fancy on a given day. Well, there’s a…

Mc puts the knife in the neighbours
MEATH… 0-19 WESTMEATH… 0-12 How often do you see it, we in the media rave about a particular player, thus whenever he or she lines out again in one sense the masses expect an action replay and in another, forthcoming opponents obsess about ensuring that doesn’t happen. On the latter point, Westmeath full back Adam…

O’Bric unveils troops to defend our crown
Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric and his fellow mentors have announced the panel with whom they will go into battle and attempt to hold onto the provincial title they annexed at Louth’s expense in Parnell Park almost a year ago. The Seamus Flood Cup holders will be able to call on six members of…

Meath’s ‘Summer’ journeys mapped out
Competitively speaking, life under Robbie Brennan and Johnny Greville’s stewardship hasn’t even begun and already the bigger picture looms on the horizon, with Championship fixture schedules confirmed for all county teams bar the senior hurlers. Brennan’s bunch will begin their odyssey in the ‘main’ competition at home to Carlow on March 6th. Should they clear…
