    Wishing you the health and happiness you’ve given to all of us

    I learned a long time ago – yes the hard way – that it is generally best to let emotions cool down before commenting on issues which have ground your gears. What tends to be divulged in the immediate aftermath of the occurrence or event might be the unfettered truth but it may end up…

    Some old, some new, Teddy Mc here’s to you

    Sticking to a similar script to that which they worked off against the Regional All Stars on Monday night last, Colm O’Rourke has named a largely experimental line up with a smattering of experienced players included for Saturday’s match in Cork in memory of the late, great Teddy McCarthy.

  • Could it be, the FAI actually doing something right?

    Could it be, the FAI actually doing something right?

Even though he’s the head honcho of the Football Association of Ireland, his is not a name you’d see popping up too often. Certainly not an accusation you could level at the individual who held the position before him. With plenty…

    Gaffney goal gives gutsy Royals another Croker date

    Meath…1-11 Westmeath…0-10 Amy Gaffney’s late goal put the seal on another terrific Thurles day for the Camogie stars of Meath as they saw off the gritty challenge presented by neighbours Westmeath in this GlenDimplex All Ireland Intermediate Camogie semi final at FBD Semple Stadium. Brendan Skehan’s side have already had a rollercoaster season, cruelly missing…

    Aoife’s busy summer to roll on as Meath stun Rebels

    Major heroics keep Meath on the straight road

    Meath…2-09 Louth…1-07 Late goals from substitutes Liam Jennings and Ben Corkery (penalty) completed a remarkable turnaround for Meath as they kept on the more straightforward route to progress in the Leinster MFC following this pulsating encounter at Defy Pairc Mhuire in Ardee on Wednesday evening.

    Fergusons were always a good engine for getting things done

    Rep. Of Ireland…3 Latvia…2 Anyone of an agricultural persuasion is no doubt retorting to the above headline that Harry Ferguson’s ground breaking invention of the most famous piece of agricultural machinery ever made was in fact powered by the equally iconic Perkins engine.
