Wall on from the off for Waterford

Please weather, don’t be a spoilsport
In possibly the greatest, yet simplest, endorsement of the fact that incremental progress is being made across many fronts in Meath GAA, both Colm O’Rourke and Shane McCormack have, once again, opted to reward consistency and named unchanged starting 15s ahead of crucial NFL assignments for their respective sides this weekend. Though with the former,…

McCormack makes one switch for battle with former charges
Meadhbh Byrne reclaims her spot in the Meath full forward line and that is the only change to the ensemble which defeated Waterford two weeks ago in Dungarvan as Royal County boss Shane McCormack prepares to take on his former charges in Ashbourne on Sunday.

Meath look at home in the Dome and record statement victory

Time to invoke the siege mentality
Meath… 0-12 Donegal… 1-10 Why or how Milwall ever came up with their infamous “We are Milwall, nobody likes us, we don’t care” chant is beyond me. It’s not as if they were ever any good. Affixing the same mantra to Meath football teams is far easier to understand. Reason being none other than the…
