Stop-start Meath keep ticking over to advance
MEATH…1-19 LONGFORD…3-10 My late father would have called it a performance that was like the Curate’s Egg – good in spots.

As you were for the Minors
After a 12 point win over Westmeath 12 days ago, it comes as little or surprise that Meath’s management have given a resounding vote of confidence to those who were on duty on that occasion ahead of tonight’s Leinster MFC Round 2 encounter against Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s Park, Newbridge, where the action throws…

Your DNA doesn’t change… thankfully!
Meath… 3-14 Wexford… 1-11 Outside of sport and farming, it might come as a surprise to some to know that my favourite other type of television is True Crime.

Brave Display Points To Better Days Ahead
Meath…..1-13 Dublin……2-16 Tears. The first reaction that comes to mind. Emotion for very personal reasons, immense pride at a performance woven thick with the acrylic of the famed Meath never-say-die attitude and then finally heartache at what felt like one that certainly got away. Items two and three are what need to be focused upon…

A way forward based on continuity
There was much conjecture surrounding the ‘debate’ involving Pat Gilroy and Andy McEntee thrown onto The Sunday Game in a scatter-gun manner at the end of last year.
