Duggy makes the difference as Royals rally for draw
Meath…0-09 Galway…0-09 The above headline might give the impression that it was the Davy Nelson’s side who equalised – which wasn’t the case – but given the way the Connacht side dominated for long spells over the hour, it’d be ventured the locals will be glad to have got something from their third Lidl Ladies […]

Hello Mary Kate goodbye Donegal!
Meath…1-07 Donegal…0-05 Summerhill players are a unique breed. Mattie Kerrigan was regarded as one of if not the finest player of his generation. Mick Lyons is still probably the most feared full back in the game, more than three decades after his retirement, Mark O’Reilly was Man Of The Match in an All Ireland Final […]

Rusty Royals will hopefully come on for the run
Meath… 0-08 Dublin… 1-11 Defending Lidl National Football League and TG4 All Ireland Champions Meath will be hoping it turns out to be a case of ‘Will come on for the run’ after a disappointing start to their 2023 season at DCU St Claire’s this evening. Stacey Grimes, Niamh O’Sullivan and Olivia Callan were late […]

Sport doesn’t need the 25th to bring gifts
It’s 11.41pm on Christmas Eve and here I am starting a post. Christmas means different things for different people. For some, cough, it can be an endurance test. That said, there are silver linings to it, as were alluded to here earlier in the week. An abundance of horse racing, soccer, darts and, eh, yeah, […]

Nelson’s the pillar on which Meath aim to build more success
How do you follow greatness? The common answer to this question is that whoever draws what can be a poisoned chalice is on a hiding to nothing. Think about it. David Moyes after Sir Alex Ferguson, Eamonn Barry taking over from Sean Boylan. Or whoever strove to be National Hunt Champion Jockey in the UK […]

Irish eyes smiling with longing happiness!
It’s almost impossible to quantify the magnitude of what Meath undertook in 1968 when – as ‘outgoing’ All Ireland Champions – the headed for Australia. To be honest, not a whole lot is known about the expedition but – and if the following is incorrect please advise – what is known (I think!) is that […]

Creating greatness all in a day’s work for gentleman Murray
1996 was some year for me. My first full summer with a powered wheelchair, Meath winning the All Ireland and da getting our first van which meant the power chair could be brought everywhere. That hadn’t always been the case. Of greater significance than any of the above, however, was the construction of the flat […]

Twice as nice
Meath 3-10 Kerry… 1-07 1949, 1954, 1967, 1987, 1988, 1996, 1999, 2021, 2022. Even looking at it written in front of you is to be struck by awe. Before anyone says anything, the majestic achievements of Eamonn Murray’s charges over the past two seasons merit equal if not greater commendation than the seven All Ireland […]

It doesn’t matter how you do it once its done
Meath…0-12 Donegal…1-07 What defines a true champion? Actually, that’s another question to which there’s no definitive single answer. However, knowing how to win is often the biggest factor. That was certainly the case this evening as Eamonn Murray’s history making ladies qualified for a fifth straight All Ireland Final appearance. For clarity, that is three […]
