One change for the Ladies
In a nod to the fact that while a few results haven’t gone their way of late but at the same time they haven’t been doing a whole lot wrong, Meath have made just one change ahead of what amounts to a semi final in the TG4 Leinster LSFC against Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s…

O’Bric repeats the same trick – simple but effective
In a development as obvious and unsurprising as ice cream selling well on a hot day, Meath manager Cathal O’Bric has announced the same starting 15 and extended matchday panel ahead of tonight’s final of the Dalata Hotels Group Leinster U-20 FC in Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge. That means that Dunshaughlin’s Fiach Hartigan…

Change of venue for Leinster Final
As if the high drama on the pitch involving Meath teams over the past week or so wasn’t enough, things took another twist prior to the Royal County’s meeting with Louth in tomorrow (Wednesday) evening’s Leinster U-20 FC Final – of course they did – with the revelation that the showdown for the Seamus Flood…

Harte isn’t the story here – Michael Duignan is
For a variety of reasons, it was resolved a long time ago that one could no longer be shocked by any revelations pertaining to Mickey Harte.

‘Tis not the defeat but the manner of it which hurts the most
MEATH…0-09 LOUTH…3-10 Of course it had to happen sometime. And when it did, there could be no qualms about it. Louth were much the better side and thoroughly deserving of their win. Indeed, considering their Blitzkrieg start, the Wee County would be entitled to feel a little underwhelmed that they didn’t kick on to a…
