Job done, move on, start building
MEATH… 6-22 LAOIS… 0-07 In such no-win situations, there’s only one thing a body can do – win. Tick the box and move on. If you do manage to win, you are only doing as would have been expected and if you don’t well, let’s not go there. So, credit to them, when Trevor Giles’s…

A time of opportunity rather than a problem
Transition. Movement. Change. Difference. Essentially, they all describe the same thing. But can have seismically different meanings for different people. Indeed, they can have vastly fluctuating connotations for the same people in differing circumstances. Even for yours truly. For instance, the notion of doing Transition Year after completing the Junior Cert. appeared to be a…

As you were for Minors
Meath Minor football manager Trevor Giles has kept the faith with those who lost out to Louth by the narrowest of margins and played amid horrendous conditions 12 days ago ahead of tonight’s Round 2 outing against Kildare at Fr McManus Park, the home of Skryne GFC. There are, however, a number of alterations to…

Meath go through the gears in second half to see off dogged Laois
MEATH… 3-12 LAOIS… 0-10 The final score states there were 11 points between the sides at the end, but don’t fooled. Inclination might be to think that this was a fairly routine night’s work for Cathal O’Bric’s team, but it was anything but. Now, as if to directly contradict the above statement, Meath never looked…

An impressive tally in no-win situation
MEATH… 5-19 CARLOW… 2-09 Cathal O’Bric’s Meath U-20 footballers got the county’s quest for a third consecutive provincial final appearance with a 19 point win at Netwatch Dr Cullen Park on Wednesday night. With the greatest respect to the host county, no matter what way the evening went for the young Royals, they were on…

Strong second half sees off Skryne
St Peter’s, Dunboyne 1-15 Skryne 1-11 On Friday evening, Dunboyne’s second team travelled to Fr McManus Park and came away victorious when a stirring second half put clear daylight between the sides. The eventual victors held sway by 1-05 to 1-04 at the turnaround before kicking on after the break. St Peter’s – J. McCormack;…

Dunboyne up and trotting at least!
St Peter’s, Dunboyne… 0-17Trim… 1-14 A draw was probably the fairest outcome as the home side eventually got their season off the ground with a draw having trailed for the majority of the contest. An early Trim goal gave Ken Robinson’s team an advantage they resiliently kept until well down the home straight. However, with…

A giant step on a journey still in its early stages
MEATH…2-22 OFFALY…0-18 This day seven years ago was obviously Easter Sunday. The day Meath defeated Fermanagh in Pairc Tailteann to seal a return to Div. 1 of the National Football League. The reason I know it had to be the chocolate holiday is because I was in Fairyhouse getting updates via WhatsApp as Andy McEntee…
