Footballers join Christy Ring heroes already honoured this week Eight members of Meath’s Tailteann Cup winning team have been selected on the Team Of The Year for what I like to think of as the All Ireland Intermediate Football Championship. No doubt, the knockers and begrudgers will sneer at such a thing being celebrated but,… Read More An excellent eight recognised after terrific Tailteann triumph
Limerick…0-30 Kilkenny…2-15 Any hurling aficionados among you might recognise the above headline. It has been here before. On the occasion Meath defeated Antrim for the first time in the Christy Ring Cup Final some years back before a re-fixture was ordered over some cock up with the full time score. But Meath were so good… Read More Don’t try to figure it out just admire it

In this space over the years, reference has been made on numerous occasions to my sporadic reading habits. For the sake of clarity, that’s generally meant in terms of books.

Of course there have been other factors in their fine form but it seems to be… Read More Free scoring Meath earn deserved Final shot
Seoirse Bulfin has, perhaps unsurprisingly, named an unchanged side once again as his charges bid to continue their resurgence in the Christy Ring Cup going in Sligo at lunchtime tomorrow (Saturday). That means that despite being available after suspension, Trim’s James Toher is held in reserve. As are Stephen Morris of Blackhall Gaels and Kyle… Read More Toher on the bench for hurlers
Sean Geraghty coming in as a direct replacement for the suspended James Toher is the only change to the Meath senior hurling team from that which defeated Derry ahead of Saturday’s encounter against Tyrone at Pairc Tailteann.

Meath…1-21 Derry…1-19 In another sporting event making headlines at the moment, potting the black ball can make all the difference between winning and losing and landing the white in the scoring area can lead to disaster. This afternoon in Owenbeg, it was Nicky Potterton’s entrenching of the white ball in the Derry net and the… Read More Nicky Pots the green (flag) ball as Meath gain vital win
The very experienced duo of Mark O’Sullivan (Kiltale) and Adam Gannon (Killyon) make welcome returns to the match day panel and are joined by Ciaran Lonergan of St Peter’s, Dunboyne ahead of Meath’s Christy Ring Cup Round 3 outing against Derry.
