An excellent eight recognised after terrific Tailteann triumph
Footballers join Christy Ring heroes already honoured this week Eight members of Meath’s Tailteann Cup winning team have been selected on the Team Of The Year for what I like to think of as the All Ireland Intermediate Football Championship. No doubt, the knockers and begrudgers will sneer at such a thing being celebrated but,…

Knockout pairings revealed
At tonight’s Meath Co Board meeting in Dunganny (Monday), as well as management teams being confirmed for county underage teams for 2024, the draws were made for the concluding stages of the club football championships at both Senior and Intermediate level. Both for those chasing silverware and salvation. Before getting into all that though, the…

Nicky nips in to ensure Meath capture Christy for third time
Meath…1-23 Derry…1-21 When Nicky Potterton gathered possession, wheeled away and ended up lashing the sliotar to the Derry net, it appeared to be merely the white icing atop the almond equivalent on Meath’s victory cake in this pulsating Christy Ring Cup decider at Croke Park. At that stage, it left Seoirse Bulfin’s side clear by…

One change for Meath ahead of Croker date
Published: 2/6/23 @ 11.23am Updated: 2/6/23 @ 11.56am Meath senior hurling manager Seoirse Bulfin has made one alteration to his team in advance of tomorrow’s Christy Ring Cup Final against Derry at Croke Park.

Free scoring Meath earn deserved Final shot
Meath…0-24 Sligo…0-18 Throughout what has been a very successful season for Seoirse Bulfin’s Meath senior hurlers so far, one of the recurring themes often referenced by yours truly has been their continued ability to amass big tallies of scores. Of course there have been other factors in their fine form but it seems to be…

Toher on the bench for hurlers
Seoirse Bulfin has, perhaps unsurprisingly, named an unchanged side once again as his charges bid to continue their resurgence in the Christy Ring Cup going in Sligo at lunchtime tomorrow (Saturday). That means that despite being available after suspension, Trim’s James Toher is held in reserve. As are Stephen Morris of Blackhall Gaels and Kyle…

Meath nearly hit a score for every player on the pitch
Meath… 0-28 Tyrone… 0-20 When putting up the ‘Check In’ post on Facebook upon arrival at Pairc Tailteann early on Saturday evening, no secret was made of the reality that one was unsure what, if any, of the sliotar the one seeing eye here would be able to pick up. It being a first match…

Meath leave well enough alone where possible
Sean Geraghty coming in as a direct replacement for the suspended James Toher is the only change to the Meath senior hurling team from that which defeated Derry ahead of Saturday’s encounter against Tyrone at Pairc Tailteann. That means that the great Mickey Burke is in line for what will be his 197th outing in…

Nicky Pots the green (flag) ball as Meath gain vital win
Meath…1-21 Derry…1-19 In another sporting event making headlines at the moment, potting the black ball can make all the difference between winning and losing and landing the white in the scoring area can lead to disaster. This afternoon in Owenbeg, it was Nicky Potterton’s entrenching of the white ball in the Derry net and the…

Talented trio return to the bench for Derry date
The very experienced duo of Mark O’Sullivan (Kiltale) and Adam Gannon (Killyon) make welcome returns to the match day panel and are joined by Ciaran Lonergan of St Peter’s, Dunboyne ahead of Meath’s Christy Ring Cup Round 3 outing against Derry. Other than the above, there are two changes in personnel from the side which…
