No Rowe for Dubs as Royals stay the same
Carla Rowe is a notable absentee from the Dublin starting 15 ahead of Sunday’s TG4 Leinster LSFC Final in Croke Park, while opponents Meath have named an unchanged line up from that which survived a late scare against Kildare in Newbridge on Sunday last. Country Crest Farms employee Rowe will be joined on the Dublin…

One change for the Ladies
In a nod to the fact that while a few results haven’t gone their way of late but at the same time they haven’t been doing a whole lot wrong, Meath have made just one change ahead of what amounts to a semi final in the TG4 Leinster LSFC against Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s…

Another new midfield combination for the Ladies
Manager Shane McCormack has again shuffled his deck in preparation for Saturday’s date with the Dubs in Round 5 of the Lidl Ladies NFL at Parnell Park. Throw in is at 3pm and the game will be shown live on TG4. The positional switches see Nicole Troy reclaim her usual corner back berth with Ratoath’s…

McCormack makes one switch for battle with former charges
Meadhbh Byrne reclaims her spot in the Meath full forward line and that is the only change to the ensemble which defeated Waterford two weeks ago in Dungarvan as Royal County boss Shane McCormack prepares to take on his former charges in Ashbourne on Sunday. Byrne, from county senior champions Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels, netted three times…

Meadhbh, Marion strike to keep Dubs at arm’s length
MEATH…2-05 DUBLIN…0-07 When Emma Duggan’s fortuitous goal set Meath on their way to a sensational victory over Dublin in the 2021 All Ireland LSFC Final, it was seen as a Robin Hood moment. Or, for those of us old enough to recall, it resembled Ger Canning’s observation when Declan Bonnar curled over the insurance score…

Natural leader Niamh lays down the baton
Hardly surprisingly, Meath manager Shane McCormack kept faith with the 15 who started last Sunday’s victory over Mayo for today’s local derby against the Dubs. The team announcement was, however, overshadowed by the fact the great Niamh O’Sullivan has taken her leave of the inter county stage. If ever scientists are attempting to build a…

Strange Sundays – Part I
If any writers, or producers of any media content, have ever experienced the following please drop a line down in the comments. On Sunday morning I started writing a piece relating to the two semi finals of the World Snooker Championship. Specifically, the contrast between the two. The epic encounter between Luca Brecel and Si…

Forget Milwall, we need that chant for ourselves
It’s an unfortunate back handed compliment that, when you’re the best at what you do, there’s always somebody waiting to knock you off your perch. When you don’t disappear fast enough, they get ratty and try to dislodge you by nefarious means. As my late father correctly observed about a certain political party, if they…

I’ve met some folks who say that I’m a dreamer – but this is a glorious reality!
Dunboyne…1-13 Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels…1-10 At the outset here, I must again defer to a piece of advice imparted in this direction via Ireland’s greatest man of letters, the gentle giant from Castle Island. He once wrote, in the context of his own failing health at the time that “If you have knowledge on a subject and…
