Meath opt for McCormack
Meath LGFA will, at their meeting of September 11th, put forward the name of Kildare man Shane McCormack as the preferred candidate to be ratified to assume the position of county senior team manager. The former Kildare men’s custodian has plenty of managerial experience having most recently guided Armagh to a Lidl Ladies NFL Div.…

Royal rethink required as duo depart
No doubt there will be players who weren’t part of the Meath senior football panel this season will have caught the eye of Colm O’Rourke and his fellow mentors thus far in the local club championships and – if they aren’t called in directly – they will surely be aiming to utilise the Regional Championships…

Same again for second half of Super Saturday
In what must be seen as a nod of satisfaction with the form and confidence in and within her team, Jenny Rispin has again named the same Meath team to take on Kerry in Saturday night’s All Ireland Ladies SFC quarter final in Tralee. Since the sides met in the Brendan Martin Cup Final 51…

Time to invoke the siege mentality
Meath… 0-12 Donegal… 1-10 Why or how Milwall ever came up with their infamous “We are Milwall, nobody likes us, we don’t care” chant is beyond me. It’s not as if they were ever any good. Affixing the same mantra to Meath football teams is far easier to understand. Reason being none other than the…

For the second time in six months, Meath GAA, and Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels in particular, have been plunged into grief, disbelief and heartache.

Champions ready for the road again

Rispin returns to steady Royal ship
How oft have you heard it said, when the bovine excrement hits the fan, go back to basics. To what’s known best and trusted. This corner has no intention of going into the nuts and bolts of why Davy Nelson and his team stepped down. Quite simply because they are not known. Nor do they…

Duggan delivers another Dublin day out
Meath…1-12 Galway…1-11 Emma Duggan’s long range point with fifteen seconds left on the clock sent Meath back to Croke Park as the All Ireland Champions overcame the most stern of their credentials to date at Tullamore’s O’Connor Park this evening. Eamonn Murray’s charges proved here that they had all necessary components which characterise true champions.…
