I’d gladly clean the toilets just to feel part of it
One night what’s a long time ago now, in Brady’s of Dunboyne, which sadly is more a memory for me than the mainstay it blessedly once was, the diesel tank in this seat was a little too full. At the time, Sean Boylan’s position as Meath senior football manager was up for ratification. For so […]

Mc’s Minors ensure an exciting build-up to Christmas
Meath… 3-11 Westmeath…0-07 It was a case of carrying on where they left off for the Meath Minor footballers as they returned to action after a near eight week hiatus looking every bit as efficient and promising as they had prior to Covid-19 stopping play. Their 11-point dispatching of Dublin (1-15 to 0-07) gave a […]

Murphy’s ‘Major’ seals the deal as McCarthy’s men March on
LEINSTER MFC; MEATH 1.15 DUBLIN 0-07 A second half goal from Dunshaughlin’s Aaron Murphy pointed the home side towards victory as they completely dominated their old rivals to further underline the progress made and the work which continues to be done with Meath underage teams.
