Sometimes Cliches Are Unavoidable
MEATH…4-04 TYRONE…0-02 The above is one of the cases that absolutely merits appendage to the headline in question. For the reality is that were it not for Meath’s four goals – a brace apiece from Kerrie Cole and the introduced Michelle Collins – were the crucial interventions as the 2021 Div. 1 champions got their…

McCormack’s new look Ladies head for the land of the Red Hand
This writer cannot actually remember a time – other than when she was being rested – when Monica McGuirk wasn’t between the posts for the Meath Ladies.

Perhaps this is just my overtly superstitious nature at play, but, gut instinct tells me those who are now Shane McCormack’s charges have a feeling of unfinished business from last term that needs attending to.
