    The ball’s not even thrown in and the off-the-ball digs are flying

    Note to self: Don’t read fan forums. At half time in what I think was the 1992 Leinster SFC Final, legend has it the Dublin and Kildare players got a little hot and bothered about each other on the way down the tunnel. It was the first incident of its type this writer can recall.…

    The harp’s sweet tune gets Tara over the line

    Tara…2-11 Moyfernagh…0-12 Second half goals from Declan Smyth (Dunsany) and Tommy Kinsella (Dunshaughlin) completed a fine turnaround for Ger Robinson’s ensemble representing the most sacred place in Meath against Moyfernagh. The latter basically encompassing qualifying clubs (Junior and Intermediate) in the greater Trim area. With the men from where once a harp regaled the halls…

    Johnny Cash was right about Sundays!

    If you’re involved in GAA – or most likely any sport – it’s a fairly safe wager that you’ll experience more defeat than victory.

  • Plenty of positives but the ten year wait goes on

    Meath 0-19 Dublin 1-20 If one wanted to be straightforward about the meeting of the old rivals at Parnell Park tonight, already relegated Meath are still without a point in this year’s National League. And still a decade without a win over the boys in blue. However, when these two collide it’s generally anything but…
