  • If you want something done right do it yourself

    Dublin……2-14 Mayo…… 0-15 This may be stating the blindingly obvious, but, not too much time ever elapses between one wish that things could be different and the next. Maybe everybody has such thoughts. However, in my case, it will probably stun some to hear and admission that I do not mean by way of having…

  • Now it’ll be a happy Christmas

    Meath…… 2-10 Laois……1-07 Meath has a fine and proud tradition of producing some of the finest full backs in the game. Just think of some of the names – Paddy O’Brien, Jack Quinn, Mick Lyons, Darren Fay, Kevin Reilly and Conor McGill. On the evidence of today’s game at Pairc Tailteann, that record seems well…

  • 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…

  • If solutions were that simple there wouldn’t be a problem

    For the last 3 years as @MeathGAA P.R.O. I have asked for a Commercial Manager to be employed. Unfortunately on numerous occasions I’ve been told to stop bringing it up. We have needed this for years and we must act promptly to rectify it. Ciaran Flynn Sir Alex Ferguson was loathsome of football agents. A…

  • Dublin’s eight year streak leaves it harsh on Cavan

    How often has it been mentioned here previously that there are good footballers and hurlers in every county in Ireland. But that some of them never get the exposure or praise their talents merit. Simply because of the jersey on their backs. Let’s take hurling for a minute. If Jack Fagan hadn’t transferred from Meath…

  • The making of a Christmas cracker – Act II

    Grimes, Joe Mc, Pairc Na nGaeil. Synonymous with Limerick. Two legends and an iconic sporting arena. All immortalised in a uniquely Irish sporting way. Facilitating the type of cross over which cements the special place sport commands in Irish life. Namely, having a horse named in their honour by J. P. McManus. There are many…

  • Cavan deliver on their potential and give hope to the masses

    “The grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff, and the blue skies are over it all”. “Come Back Paddy Reilly” Observe the above excerpt from the lovely old song. Picture it. Take it in. Maybe the grass has been knocked for hay or silage. The blue skies over it all, helping it on its journey to…
