Fergus Gibson would be unemployed if depending on the Tones
Trying to predict the outcome of sporting events, or maybe anything in life is predicated on things going according to script, as it were. The thing is, though, time and experience are very much showing, though, that Wolfe Tones are very much of a mind to write and produce their own scripts. Going back as…

Shake the tree hard enough and eventually the fruit will fall
The bit of set dancing engaged in by Meath and Mayo in the early stages of the 1996 All Ireland Final replay has to be the most exaggerated piece of shadow boxing in public discourse since Bertie Ahern told Gay Mitchell he was a waffler and the current Taoiseach chided a certain Donegal politician about…

An epic and equally upsetting weekend
If anybody has become bored or annoyed by my re-posting match text commentary in recent weeks I apologise. It’s my way of dealing with Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and/or separation anxiety, whichever you want to call it. From not being able to attend matches it is desired to be at. Without wanting to play…

Corkery delivers on the double as Meath collect
Meath… 2-10 Westmeath… 0-10 A goal in each half from Clann Na nGaeil’s Ben Corkery made the difference as Meath got their Leinster MFC campaign off to a winning start in Kinnegad tonight.

Meath clock up big tally but now must wait
Meath… 2-19 Antrim… 0-04 It was all one way traffic under the lights of Fr McManus Park on Friday night as Meath’s U-20 footballers had little difficulty in maintaining their unbeaten run in the Leo Murphy Cup. However, their progression or otherwise in the pre-championship competition is out of their hands and will depend on…

Battling young Royals bag draw
Meath… 1-09 Tyrone… 0-12 In recent years, blessedly many hours have been put in behind this keyboard heralding significant underage successes for Meath football teams. Wins that were both desperately needed and a long time coming. You can see the fruits of it coming through by degrees already. With the likes of Harry Hogan and…

Battling Meath bag stalemate but no Final berth
Meath…1-07 Longford…0-10 A brace of late points from Trim’s Aaron Lynch earned Meath a deserved share of the spoils in this entertaining O’Byrne Cup encounter played in horrendous wind and rain at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Regrettably, it wasn’t enough to take Colm O’Rourke’s team through to the final of the pre-season competition. By virtue of the fact…

Goals the major difference as new tournament throws in
Lough Crew… 4-12 Bru Na Boinne… 0-12 At the outset here, an admission will be made that yours truly wasn’t in Dunganny this evening due to the inclement weather. Thus, players and scorers mentioned hereafter are courtesy of Fergal Lynch. The first thing to note was that the novelty of the new Regional Championships has…

Both left wondering what might have been
MEATH… 2-11 DERRY…1-16 Both sides were left wondering what might have been though it was Rory Gallagher’s Derry side who came away from Pairc Tailteann with the spoils. If also the biggest portion of regret as well. Meath were left to rue not only letting a good lead slip against the Oak Leaf County today…
