The old cliche points the way as river men make floodlit hay
BRU NA BOINNE… 2-09 MOYFENRAGH… 0-10 If it aint broke don’t fix it. Using a cliche to defend the use of cliches is possibly the most Irish thing going. But it literally was a case of goals winning games as Bru Na Boinne got their Regional Football Championship challenge up and running in front of…

The race for Richie is under starter’s orders (updated 11.40am 22/10/24)
It may make me a bit of an oddball, but I tend to be a champion of matters which others belittle or ridicule. See the Railway Cup, the International Rules Series or the scandalously shafted Tommy Murphy Cup. The Brady’s Skoda-sponsored Meath Regional Football Championship is another such gem. The brainchild of Colm O’Rourke and…

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. You can be sure Meath were keen to lay down a marker early, and duly did so courtesy of quick scores from Eoghan Frayne and Mat…

Net cast wider in Royal star search
The Meath team to play Longford in tonight’s Dioralyte O’Byrne Cup semi final in Ashbourne (7.30) shows 13 changes from that which overcame Louth at the same venue six days ago.

The Dixon Line a winning one for Moyfernagh
MOYFERNAGH… 0-09 LOUGHCREW GAELS… 0-08 Danny Dixon’s pointed free in the third minute of stoppage time guaranteed Moyfernagh a deserved opening round victory in this Brady’s Skoda Regional Football Championship encounter at Dunganny tonight (Wednesday). The Boardsmill clubman featured on the senior panel previously during Andy McEntee’s tenure and, while he has seemingly been travelling…

Not many scores but no shortage of bite either
Boyne Valley… 1-07 Moyfernagh… 1-02 My late father was of the opinion that a 0-0 draw in a soccer match was the most boring purgatory in the sporting world. An easy enough summation to concur with but easily deconstructed too with a little more nuanced analysis. Granted, an occasion where both teams park the bus,…

Moyfernagh March On
Moyfernagh… 1-09 Blackwater… 1-07 Brendan Murphy’s Moyfernagh side advanced to the knockout stages of the Dioralyte Regional Football Championship at Dunganny on Wednesday evening. Those clad in green and white made light of the absence of the phenomenal Mickey Burke as well as Longwood’s Billy Hogan to advance to the knockout stages with a round…

New old guard get Meath up and running for new season
Meath… 1-15 Wexford… 1-10 It really must be like a drug. On Saturday evening, I began my 32nd consecutive season on the GAA ‘circuit’ in the familiar and most comfortable surroundings of Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Never has an O’Byrne Cup game meant so much as it did for the occupant of this seat to be in position…
