A hard habit to break
Meath…2-11 Limerick…0-17 In what turned out to be Mick O’Dowd’s last game as Meath manager, his charges led Derry by seven points at half time in an All Ireland SFC Qualifier before capitulating spectacularly after half time. This corner cannot recall whether it had happened prior to that, but it certainly has been a habit…

One change for Meath hurlers
The Meath hurling team to take on Donegal this afternoon (Saturday) shows one change from that which overcame a stern test in Sligo last weekend. As was the case that day also, the alteration is enforced, due to the unavailability of Kyle Donnelly. The versatile Damien Healy slots into the effected berth on the half…

Only mandatory change for Meath
Meath manager Seoirse Bulfin has made one change to the team which overcame Wicklow last week in advance of tomorrow’s NHL Div. 2B encounter away to Sligo.

Walsh wizardry points the way as Meath enjoy day on the banks of the Lee
Meath…3-14 Cork…0-19 With Division 2 being the most competitive it has at least appeared in the last few years, Colm O’Rourke’s maiden outing in the Allianz National Football League could hardly have looked more fire and brimstone than taking on the Rebel County by the banks of their own lovely Lee.

Not many scores but no shortage of bite either
Boyne Valley… 1-07 Moyfernagh… 1-02 My late father was of the opinion that a 0-0 draw in a soccer match was the most boring purgatory in the sporting world. An easy enough summation to concur with but easily deconstructed too with a little more nuanced analysis. Granted, an occasion where both teams park the bus,…

The harp’s sweet tune gets Tara over the line
Tara…2-11 Moyfernagh…0-12 Second half goals from Declan Smyth (Dunsany) and Tommy Kinsella (Dunshaughlin) completed a fine turnaround for Ger Robinson’s ensemble representing the most sacred place in Meath against Moyfernagh. The latter basically encompassing qualifying clubs (Junior and Intermediate) in the greater Trim area. With the men from where once a harp regaled the halls…

Both left wondering what might have been
MEATH… 2-11 DERRY…1-16 Both sides were left wondering what might have been though it was Rory Gallagher’s Derry side who came away from Pairc Tailteann with the spoils. If also the biggest portion of regret as well. Meath were left to rue not only letting a good lead slip against the Oak Leaf County today…

Meath find form and garner crucial two points
Meath…1-18 Cork…1-10 Call it muscle memory, compare it to riding a bike, whatever you wish. Meath produced their best and most complete performance in a very long time this afternoon at Pairc Tailteann. Yes, extenuating circumstances must be taken into account but credit must be given where it’s due too. Cork are at the lowest…
