A giant step on a journey still in its early stages
MEATH…2-22 OFFALY…0-18 This day seven years ago was obviously Easter Sunday. The day Meath defeated Fermanagh in Pairc Tailteann to seal a return to Div. 1 of the National Football League. The reason I know it had to be the chocolate holiday is because I was in Fairyhouse getting updates via WhatsApp as Andy McEntee…

Meath’s Allianz League Schedules Confirmed
Both Colm O’Rourke and Seoirse Bulfin can ramp up preparing their teams in earnest for the season ahead after Meath’s schedules for the forthcoming Allianz National Leagues were confirmed most recently.

A hard habit to break
Meath…2-11 Limerick…0-17 In what turned out to be Mick O’Dowd’s last game as Meath manager, his charges led Derry by seven points at half time in an All Ireland SFC Qualifier before capitulating spectacularly after half time.

Goals the major difference as new tournament throws in
Lough Crew… 4-12 Bru Na Boinne… 0-12 At the outset here, an admission will be made that yours truly wasn’t in Dunganny this evening due to the inclement weather. Thus, players and scorers mentioned hereafter are courtesy of Fergal Lynch. The first thing to note was that the novelty of the new Regional Championships has…

2023 provincial football championship draws
The draws for the 2023 provincial football championships have been confirmed this afternoon. Colm O’Rourke will have his first Championship match as Meath manager against either Longford or Offally. If my reading of the draw is correct, the above will be a home fixture for the Royal County. “We’ll be starting with a clean slate, picking…

Same again for Meath
Meath have announced the same starting 15 as that which bypassed Wicklow to take on Dublin in tomorrow’s Leinster SFC semi final at Croke Park. James McEntee will wear the No.5 shirt have swapped roles with Jason Scully at the throw-in the last day in Pairc Tailteann, the switch stays in place. The only other…
