    There’s no need for such cruelty

    MEATH… 1-16 KILDARE… 2-13 * *Kildare win 5-3 on penalties There’s no need for such cruelty to be used to decide games of such magnitude on penalties. Another case of the GAA hierarchy bowing to the whingers. ‘Fixing’ something that wasn’t even broken. Right here, right now, let it be made abundantly clear, these misgivings…

    Hoping to reunite with a familiar friend

    Trevor Giles and his Meath Minor side will be aiming for a reunion with a familiar friend at Laois Hire O’Moore Park in Portlaoise this evening (7:35 throw in) when they tackle a rematch against Kildare in the Electric Ireland Leinster MFC Final.

    MEATH… 6-22 LAOIS… 0-07 In such no-win situations, there’s only one thing a body can do – win. Tick the box and move on. If you do manage to win, you are only doing as would have been expected and if you don’t well, let’s not go there. So, credit to them, when Trevor Giles’s…

    Meath Minor football manager Trevor Giles has kept the faith with those who lost out to Louth by the narrowest of margins and played amid horrendous conditions 12 days ago ahead of tonight’s Round 2 outing against Kildare at Fr McManus Park, the home of Skryne GFC. There are, however, a number of alterations to…
