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.

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).

Podge points a dozen to secure Seoirse’s maiden win
Meath…0-18 Wicklow…1-11 Padraig O’Hanrahan replaced Nicky Potterton before the start of this Kehoe Cup opening round encounter and accounted for two thirds of Meath’s scores as Seoirse Bulfin’s side came away from Bray Emmets with an encouraging win.
