He didn’t lick it off the ground but he can certainly kick it!
MEATH…0-11 CAVAN…0-11 In recent weeks in this space the point has been made that Sean Brennan is becoming ever more of a presence between the posts for the Royal County and Saturday’s pulsating finish at Kingspan Breffni Park only underlined as much. Though perhaps not in the manner you might imagine. Now read on… A…

Bench boost works the oracle as Meath finish strong
MEATH… 0-12 KILDARE…0-09 Stirring contributions from substitutes Danny Dixon, Aaron Lynch and Ruairi Kinsella catapulted Meath to a vital victory after a typically riveting encounter against their Leinster rivals.

Another hurdle crossed as Meath Croker bound
Meath… 2-23 Wexford… 0-12 To firstly tidy up the nuts and bolts of the situation, any day you kick 2-23 and keep a clean sheet has to be regarded as a good day’s work.

As you were for McCarthy’s men
In a nod to a team which has been impressively efficient throughout their campaign to date, John McCarthy has named an unchanged starting 15 for tomorrow evening’s Leinster U-20 FC semi final against Dublin at Pairc Tailteann (6.30). What that means is that both Ciaran Caulfield and Alan Bowden retain their places after the victory…

An ugly win is a learning win
Meath…0-08 Westmeath…1-03 Even using the most elaborate journalistic or poetic license possible, one would get to turn the sow’s ear of a match into a silk purse. Yet in one way at least, Meath won’t care a jot. Getting back on track after last week’s disapointment against Laois will be all that mattered to John…

Three changes for U-20s
Meath manager John McCarthy has made three changes from the side which lost out to Laois last week ahead of Tuesday evening’s Leinster U-20 quarter final against Westmeath in Ashbourne. Essentially, the triumvirate of alterations equate to three men returning who had started previously in the championship. Billy Hogan in goal, Ciaran Caulfield at wing…

Three changes as Carlow come to town
Injuries to goalkeeper Billy Hogan, centre back John O’Regan and wing forward Ciaran Caulfield have forced a shuffling of the decks for the Meath U-20 footballers ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Carlow at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Ballinlough’s Oisin McDermott takes over between the posts, Conor Ennis (Ballinabrackey) replaces O’Regan and the mercurial Hughie Corcoran of Drumbarragh Emmets…
