McCormack makes one switch for battle with former charges
Meadhbh Byrne reclaims her spot in the Meath full forward line and that is the only change to the ensemble which defeated Waterford two weeks ago in Dungarvan as Royal County boss Shane McCormack prepares to take on his former charges in Ashbourne on Sunday. Byrne, from county senior champions Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels, netted three times…

Deise have no answer to the Gallogly express
MEATH…2-10 WATERFORD…2-05 The record books will show that Ailbhe Leahy and Marion Farrelly bagged the two goals as Meath made it three wins from as many outings in the Lidl Ladies NFL, but it was the fact that Na Deise simply had no answer to the ceaseless, marauding runs of Niamh Gallogly that really swung…

Meadhbh, Marion strike to keep Dubs at arm’s length
MEATH…2-05 DUBLIN…0-07 When Emma Duggan’s fortuitous goal set Meath on their way to a sensational victory over Dublin in the 2021 All Ireland LSFC Final, it was seen as a Robin Hood moment. Or, for those of us old enough to recall, it resembled Ger Canning’s observation when Declan Bonnar curled over the insurance score…

Natural leader Niamh lays down the baton
Hardly surprisingly, Meath manager Shane McCormack kept faith with the 15 who started last Sunday’s victory over Mayo for today’s local derby against the Dubs. The team announcement was, however, overshadowed by the fact the great Niamh O’Sullivan has taken her leave of the inter county stage. If ever scientists are attempting to build a…

Meath look at home in the Dome and record statement victory
Meath… 2-18 Mayo… 1-15 It is said that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Perhaps this is just my overtly superstitious nature at play, but, gut instinct tells me those who are now Shane McCormack’s charges have a feeling of unfinished business from last term that needs attending to. So much has been…

New look Royals revealed for trip into the West
New Meath manager Shane McCormack has revealed his starting 15 for Sunday’s Lidl Ladies NFL opening round encounter against Mayo. Throw in at the Ballina Stephenites ground is slated for 2.00pm. As revealed earlier this week, Monica McGuirk will captain the side from between the posts. Elsewhere, an experimental looking line up features former All…

Masterful Monica to lead from the back
The best goalkeeper in Ladies Football for the past decade, Monica McGuirk, is wholly deserving of the latest honour bestowed upon her after it was announced that the vastly experienced netminder had been appointed Royal County captain by new Meath manager Shane McCormack. The Duleek-Bellewstown clubwoman has been one of the cornerstones upon which Meath’s…

Time to invoke the siege mentality
Meath… 0-12 Donegal… 1-10 Why or how Milwall ever came up with their infamous “We are Milwall, nobody likes us, we don’t care” chant is beyond me. It’s not as if they were ever any good. Affixing the same mantra to Meath football teams is far easier to understand. Reason being none other than the…

Rispin returns to steady Royal ship
How oft have you heard it said, when the bovine excrement hits the fan, go back to basics. To what’s known best and trusted. This corner has no intention of going into the nuts and bolts of why Davy Nelson and his team stepped down. Quite simply because they are not known. Nor do they…

Return of three jewels boost hopes of holding onto the crown
Meath… 0-15 Laois… 0-05 Take Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland out of the Manchester City team, they don’t win their fifth Premier League title in six years. Send Limerick out shorn of Declan Hannon, Gearoid Hegarty and Aaron Gillane and they wouldn’t know Liam Mac Carthy as well as they do. Now…
