    Super Smyth sparkles as Meath brilliantly steady the ship

    MEATH…2-14 DUBLIN…1-04 Do not adjust your screens. The score before you is indeed correct. Some turnaround from 0-10 to 2-16 on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Alright, alright, romantic dreaming aside, the manner in which the Royal ladies rebounded after last week’s disappointment against Galway was impressive in itself. That, combined with the fact that…

    The only way is up

    MEATH…0-08 GALWAY….0-16 It is symbolic of a team’s current status and ambitions when one hears open mention of the fact that top flight survival will suffice as far as priorities for a National League campaign.

    Golden Oldies and a Sunday morning adjusting to a new high

Now read on… After removing the Michael out of the poor woman over her time keep miscalculation, it was readily admitted that such was the astonishment and excitement surrounding the…

    McCormack maintains consistency of selections

    Shane McCormack has once against kept the faith with those who got much closer to winning the Leinster SFC last month than most people expected.

    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

    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…

    Cleary straight back in to skipper Royals

    Meath manager Shane McCormack has opted to put captain Aisling Cleary straight back into his starting 15 ahead of their showdown with Dublin in the first round of the TG4 Leinster LSFC at Pairc Tailteann. This despite the fact that the Donaghmore/Ashbourne clubwoman missed the closing stages of the National League. Presumably in readying herself…

    Housekeeping with one eye on the next part of the odyssey

    A couple of horrendous refereeing decisions – which of course the whistler will not face any censure for – may have cost Meath a place in the Lidl LNFL Div. 1 final, but it can still regarded as a successful spring sojourn for the green and gold. With that in mind, manager Shane McCormack has…

  • Bermingham to make Royal bow

    Bermingham to make Royal bow

    Dunboyne’s Katie Bermingham will make her first start for the Royal County in Sunday’s Lidl Ladies NFL encounter against Kildare at Pairc Tailteann. Meath boss Shane McCormack has made two changes in all to the side which defeated Mayo a fortnight ago for the clash with his native county. The debutant and the also included…

  • Wall on from the off for Waterford

    Wall on from the off for Waterford

    Having registered an impressive 2-1 on her first outing for county in 18 months, it’s no surprise to see Vikki Wall listed to start at centre field when Meath take on Waterford in Round 3 of the Lidl Ladies NFL at Pairc Tailteann on Sunday (2PM). The former TG4 Ladies Footballer Of The Year will…
