    Classism stretches beyond the rancid GPA

    The first word in the above headline is a substitute for the original occupant of that slot. Had it been left in, though, the keyboard warriors would’ve been all over yours truly like pepper sauce on a steak. Blurting about hypocrisy and such. Nothing will ever alter my view that senior inter county players should…

    As you were for Anton’s army

    Not surprisingly, Meath camogie manager Anton O’Neill has chosen to keep the faith with the starting 15 which defeated Armagh last weekend ahead of tomorrow’s (Saturday) trip to MTU Kerry (Tralee) to take on Kerry in Round 2 of the Very Ireland National Camogie League. The game will throw in at 1.30pm. That means that,…

    Take your points and the goals won’t matter

    MEATH…2-12 KERRY…3-05 The equation was simple for the Meath camogie team at Rathmolyon on Saturday afternoon, and in the end so was the solution. Nothing other than a win would suffice for Gary Cole and Tommy Moloney’s team if last year’s run deep into the All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship is to be repeated. And,…

    Hotshot Horgan leaves Meath in Heartbreak Hotel

    Meath…0-13 Kerry…0-14 The half time decision of the Kerry mentors to transfer free taking duties to centre forward Jackie Horgan was ultimately their salvation and Meath’s undoing in this Very Ireland NCL Div. 2A Final at Croke Park. To add insult to injury, thanks to the unjust system which appears to prevail in both Camogie…

    Meath make it a fruitless short trip for Cavan

    Meath…0-11 Cavan…1-07 While the county’s lady footballers came up short in Ballinlough against Waterford yesterday, 24 hours earlier, Brendan Skehan’s county Camogie team had better luck over the road in Moylagh when they edged out Cavan in their National League Div. 2B encounter. Meath face Derry in their final regulation game at Donaghmore/Ashbourne in what…

  • Minogue majors get Meath back on track

    Minogue majors get Meath back on track

    Meath… 2-13 Westmeath… 1-06 Don’t let anybody tell you the day of the dual player is no more. Anybody who has been following the progress of Meath’s Aoife Minogue could disprove that theory in a heartbeat. The talented Dunderry lady has been a breakthrough player on the Meath Ladies football team in recent months but…
