Classism stretches beyond the rancid GPA
The first word in the above headline is a substitute for the original occupant of that slot. Had it been left in, though, the keyboard warriors would’ve been all over yours truly like pepper sauce on a steak. Blurting about hypocrisy and such. Nothing will ever alter my view that senior inter county players should…

Fringe players state their case
Meath Ladies senior football manager Wayne Freeman has made five changes to his team ahead of the weekend’s penultimate round of the Lidl Ladies NFL in which they will take on a rejuvenated Cork side at the MTU grounds in Bishopstown. While I am loathe to describe any fixture as a ‘dead rubber’ , from…

Parity of esteem? Particles of it more like
It’s curios how tastes change as life goes on. Literally and in terms of life in general. When I was younger, coleslaw, potato salad, Branston Pickles or beetroot wouldn’t be touched with a barge pole.

Super Smyth sparkles as Meath brilliantly steady the ship
MEATH…2-14 DUBLIN…1-04 Do not adjust your screens. The score before you is indeed correct. Some turnaround from 0-10 to 2-16 on the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Of course there’s always the possibility that such a non-fussed approach could come back and bite you in such a…

Meath’s NFL and NHL fixtures confirmed in full
To look at Meath’s finalised fixture last in both football and hurling ahead of the commencement of the 2026 National Leagues is to endorse long held suspicions that upper echelons of the GAA couldn’t give a toss about fans. Aside from their hard earned readies, that is. The following may not go down well in…

Golden Oldies and a Sunday morning adjusting to a new high
With exactly 11 minutes to go in Tullamore on Saturday evening last, my significant other began imploring referee Joe McQuillan to blow for full time. Now read on… After removing the Michael out of the poor woman over her time keep miscalculation, it was readily admitted that such was the astonishment and excitement surrounding the…

Housekeeping with one eye on the next part of the odyssey
A couple of horrendous refereeing decisions – which of course the whistler will not face any censure for – may have cost Meath a place in the Lidl LNFL Div. 1 final, but it can still regarded as a successful spring sojourn for the green and gold. With that in mind, manager Shane McCormack has…

Wall on from the off for Waterford
Having registered an impressive 2-1 on her first outing for county in 18 months, it’s no surprise to see Vikki Wall listed to start at centre field when Meath take on Waterford in Round 3 of the Lidl Ladies NFL at Pairc Tailteann on Sunday (2PM). The former TG4 Ladies Footballer Of The Year will…
