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…

Pragmatic realism for the greater good
With Sean Corrigan’s U-20 side due to begin their Leinster Championship campaign against Antrim in Kilmessan just 25 hours after his own team line out, Meath senior hurling manager Johnny Greville has taken the pragmatic approach of not starting those involved for Saturday’s final round NHL Div. 2 encounter with high flying Kerry in Trim.…

Going out the same way they came in?
Hardly surprisingly, the Meath senior football management have decided to stick with the winning formula which sees them within touching distance of getting out of Div. 2 of the National Football League for the first time since 2019. So, in a manner of speaking, you could say they’re hoping to go out the same way…

The Jacks are back – and Meath are as good as
MEATH… 3-24 TYRONE… 2-22 Barring an catastrophic development commensurate with Thierry Henry getting away with the most blatant hand ball in football history, Meath have one foot in the doorway to Div. 1 of the National Football League following this ballsy victory over Tyrone at Croke Park.

As you were once again
It’s a case of ‘if it aint broke leave it alone’ as Meath manager Robbie Brennan has kept faith with those who recorded a comprehensive victory over Kildare a fortnight ago ahead Saturday evening’s NFL Round 6 clash with Tyrone at Croke Park. That means that, having played a starring role when a late addition…

Disappointment lessened by a garnish of context
When the Meath senior hurlers got within a half dozen points of an Offaly side who the previous September had been beaten by Clare in the Liam Mac Carthy Cup Final and Kilmessan’s Anton O’Neill was awarded RTE’s Man Of The Match – and especially with the Royal County having already defeated the Faithful and…
