As you were for visiting Royals
Meath manager Wayne Freeman has announced an unchanged team from that which defeated Tyrone last time out for this evening’s TG4 All Ireland LSFC quarter final against old foes Kerry in Tralee.

Dunboyne left glancing over their shoulder
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…1-09Ratoath…0-15 A fifth defeat in nine league games leaves Dunboyne dangling just above the bacon slicer that is relegation and in a situation where they must get a win from either of their final two matches against Donaghmore/Ashbourne and Skryne respectively.

If we play as selected we’ve a great chance
Having just typed the above headline, I realise there’s probably as much chance of me walking down for a pint as there is of the said eventuality coming to pass, but, even in light of the cataclysmic loss of Ruairi Kinsella, the listed half forward line has me salivating at what might be possible if…

Only a point, 0-09 to 0-10, separated the sides at the short…

On the road again as we get back on the horse
To venture into Rebel territory or not, that is the conundrum whirring here after the fixtures for the opening round of this year’s All Ireland SFC were confirmed this morning. I am in the happy and very blessed position that if the bullet is bitten and the run is attacked, my long suffering and extremely…

Where do you stand in relation to the Play Offs in English league football? The process whereby, though the top two in any of the three divisions under the Premier League get automatically promoted, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th placed sides play off in a series of matches – commensurate to the concluding stages…

Same force head for the Faithful County
Having hit a dozen goals in their last two outings, Meath’s Minor footballers face into their third consecutive game on the road with an unchanged ensemble from that which defeated Hugh Kenny’s Wicklow in Aughrim seven days ago.
