Poignant day as new heights scaled
St Peter’s, Dunboyne (Meath)…0-12St Lazarian’s Abbeyleix (Laois)…1-08 Edited 10/11/25 – 15:13pm Some days things occur in sport which convince you that there are spectators in the stadium for away that have your back. Today was certainly one of those days for the camogie faithful in Dunboyne. The ball bobbled in and out around their goalmouth…

Did Dunsany get dosed with Pringles?
DUNSANY (MEATH)…1-14 KILCAVAN (LAOIS)…1-10 The tubularly packaged crisps with the figure who is almost a doppelganger of Manuel from Fawlty Towers as their mascot also have the sales tagline ‘once you pop you can’t stop’, well, it appears the mighty men of Dunsany have adapted it slightly to suit their own narrative. Something along the…

Deise have no answer to the Gallogly express
MEATH…2-10 WATERFORD…2-05 The record books will show that Ailbhe Leahy and Marion Farrelly bagged the two goals as Meath made it three wins from as many outings in the Lidl Ladies NFL, but it was the fact that Na Deise simply had no answer to the ceaseless, marauding runs of Niamh Gallogly that really swung…

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. Logistically speaking at least, the footballers have the better end of the stick this time around. As per the biennial reversable system, the footballers…

Enjoy it – it takes longer than you think
Repetition is one of the greatest foibles in this business. Balancing such worries, though, is the reality that, if a point retains credence, it’s worth ploughing up again. Now read on… Again, we return to the task of tending to some of da’s stuff. Specifically, a few GAA photos – including the one of the…

Herald the young heroes writing their own history
Dunboyne… 2-13 St Colmcille’s… 2-12 AFTER EXTRA TIME Life is indeed like a box of chocolates. You never do know what’s coming next. And if been wheeling around this big old ball for four and a bit decades has taught me anything, it’s that such being the case is one of life’s simplest yet greatest…

Laois grab the momentum and the win as Meath crash to earth
Meath… 1-07 Laois… 1-12 There are some lessons in life one simply has to learn the hard way. In all the years I’ve been doing match reports – either on the club’s behalf or my own – have I noted down a score before a shot was taken. Don’t do it, it’s a total jinx.…

Camogie crew to tackle neighbours revealed
Meath Camogie manager Brendan Skehan has announced his lineup prior to his charges tackling neighbours Westmeath in Round 3 of the National League. Having overcome Laois in their opening outing, the Royal County – who are adjusting to life without recently retired stars Jane Dolan and Sinead Hackett – will be hoping to bounce back…

Laois lucky to have another good Ross on the grid
Mayo’s Lee Keegan bowing out of inter county fare could hardly be classified as a shock. Especially as it was signposted on this site nearly a month ago. It was, however, sadly in keeping with modern trends of county players retiring too young. The Westport clubman being only 33. Thankfully, there will always be those…

Sloppy Meath hang on for dour stalemate
Meath… 2-10 Laois… 0-16 Colm O’Rourke’s first home game in charge saw his troops hang on for a draw after seeing a decent lead whittled away in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Baltic Pairc Tailteann. By my reckoning, Meath made 13 changes from the side which defeated Carlow on Wednesday night. Naturally, in such…
