Back in the day when lads of my own age were involved in GAA at Juvenile level – and for decades before that probably – it wasn’t uncommon for a mentor from one of the competing teams to step in as referee. As when anybody takes up the whistle they are of course admired and… Read More Underage proposals are well intentioned but pointed in the wrong direction
Meath…0-24 Sligo…0-18 Throughout what has been a very successful season for Seoirse Bulfin’s Meath senior hurlers so far, one of the recurring themes often referenced by yours truly has been their continued ability to amass big tallies of scores. Of course there have been other factors in their fine form but it seems to be… Read More Free scoring Meath earn deserved Final shot
Daithi McGowan replaces his stricken Ratoath colleague Jack Flynn in the only change to the Meath team from last weekend ahead of tomorrow’s Tailteann Cup Round 2 encounter against Waterford in Fraher Field, Dungarvan. The same switch was necessitated at half time against Tipperary when the luckless half forward aggravated an ankle ailment which has… Read More Keeping it in the parish for date with Na Deise
Seoirse Bulfin has, perhaps unsurprisingly, named an unchanged side once again as his charges bid to continue their resurgence in the Christy Ring Cup going in Sligo at lunchtime tomorrow (Saturday). That means that despite being available after suspension, Trim’s James Toher is held in reserve. As are Stephen Morris of Blackhall Gaels and Kyle… Read More Toher on the bench for hurlers
Meath… 0-15 Laois… 0-05 Take Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland out of the Manchester City team, they don’t win their fifth Premier League title in six years. Send Limerick out shorn of Declan Hannon, Gearoid Hegarty and Aaron Gillane and they wouldn’t know Liam Mac Carthy as well as they do. Now… Read More Return of three jewels boost hopes of holding onto the crown
Meath… 0-28 Tyrone… 0-20 When putting up the ‘Check In’ post on Facebook upon arrival at Pairc Tailteann early on Saturday evening, no secret was made of the reality that one was unsure what, if any, of the sliotar the one seeing eye here would be able to pick up. It being a first match… Read More Meath nearly hit a score for every player on the pitch
Meath… 1-19 Tipperary… 0-11 In many ways, Meath were on a hiding to nothing this evening. They were expected to win and win well. Having done so, it’s very much a case of taking care of business. If they hadn’t, it would’ve been a case of wigs on the Fair Green. Doubtless, when the locals… Read More No Gray areas as Meath take care of business
