Frayne strain a pain as Royals get ready to rumble
Regardless of the sport, once it’s a team pursuit, the loss of one significant component thereof can have catastrophic consequences for the ambitions and prospects thereof. Whether that be Willie Mullins seeing the services of State Man defenestrated for the season, just as Sir Gino – ironically also in the ownership of Joe and Marie…

Brennan gets the blue baton
And so, the worst kept secret in Irish sport is out. Ger Brennan has indeed succeeded Dessie Farrell as Dublin senior football manager. The St Vincent’s man – a two time Celtic cross winner in 2011 and 2013 – has initially been handed a three year term in charge of the metropoles. You’d have to…

One change for the Ladies
In a nod to the fact that while a few results haven’t gone their way of late but at the same time they haven’t been doing a whole lot wrong, Meath have made just one change ahead of what amounts to a semi final in the TG4 Leinster LSFC against Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s…

O’Bric repeats the same trick – simple but effective
In a development as obvious and unsurprising as ice cream selling well on a hot day, Meath manager Cathal O’Bric has announced the same starting 15 and extended matchday panel ahead of tonight’s final of the Dalata Hotels Group Leinster U-20 FC in Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge.

Almost as you were for Meath
Meath have made only minimal alterations to their side ahead of this (Tuesday) evening’s Leinster U-20 FC semi final against Kildare at Donaghmore/Asbourne.

‘Twas Micko’s world – we were just there too
It would be ventured that if you found anybody else on Point Nemo – scientifically recognised as the most remote place on Earth – and they had heard of Gaelic football, chances are ‘Micko’ would be the first words uttered. Likewise that island which Donald Trump imposed a tariff on last week, even though only…

Greville recalibrates in attempt to bloom against the Lilies
Johnny Greville has made wholesale changes to the Meath Senior Hurling team ahead of Saturday’s Allianz NHL Div. 2 promotion shoot out against high flying Kildare in Trim. No more than our lady footballers against Kerry, the green and gold stickmen will be hoping to redress a negatively lopsided recent record against their floury opponents.…

Bermingham to make Royal bow
Dunboyne’s Katie Bermingham will make her first start for the Royal County in Sunday’s Lidl Ladies NFL encounter against Kildare at Pairc Tailteann. Meath boss Shane McCormack has made two changes in all to the side which defeated Mayo a fortnight ago for the clash with his native county. The debutant and the also included…
