The Dublin job and the four faced auld clock
Ger Brennan’s decision to step down as Louth senior football manager may have caught a lot of people cold. Nowhere more so than in the Wee County. However, while folk in Louth might have their own theories – some of which may seem blatantly obvious – but it might not be as simple as that.…

McCormack maintains consistency of selections
Shane McCormack has once against kept the faith with those who got much closer to winning the Leinster SFC last month than most people expected. Indeed, they may have actually achieved the feat were it not for the fact that certain Meath players couldn’t get a free off Amazon, never mind the referee. Still, they…

McStay misfortune should be a reality check
You can’t be a sports fan without being passionate about it. For those at the next level – either as competitors or working with them or, indeed, as media covering the happenings therein, said passion can serve as dodgy baggage as knockers and begrudgers are only chomping at the bit to knock either competitors partaking…

A change between the posts
Manager Joe Cowley has made one to the team which defeated Longford two weeks ago ahead of tonight’s Leinster MFC last eight encounter against Offaly at Pairc Tailteann.

Thus, the highs propel spirits to such levels that the moon could roll out the red carpet. Conversely however, the lows hammer to such an extent that an elevator would be required…

Housekeeping with one eye on the next part of the odyssey
A couple of horrendous refereeing decisions – which of course the whistler will not face any censure for – may have cost Meath a place in the Lidl LNFL Div. 1 final, but it can still regarded as a successful spring sojourn for the green and gold. With that in mind, manager Shane McCormack has…

O’Bric unveils troops to defend our crown
Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric and his fellow mentors have announced the panel with whom they will go into battle and attempt to hold onto the provincial title they annexed at Louth’s expense in Parnell Park almost a year ago. The Seamus Flood Cup holders will be able to call on six members of…

Cowley’s crew for season two
Meath Minor football manager Joe Cowley has announced the panel of players with which he will go into battle as he sets out on his second campaign in charge of the young Royals. They begin their quest for provincial honours on March 29th against Westmeath. The net has certainly been cast wide enough in the…

As you were for Anton’s army
Not surprisingly, Meath camogie manager Anton O’Neill has chosen to keep the faith with the starting 15 which defeated Armagh last weekend ahead of tomorrow’s (Saturday) trip to MTU Kerry (Tralee) to take on Kerry in Round 2 of the Very Ireland National Camogie League. The game will throw in at 1.30pm. That means that,…
