  • Plenty of positives but the ten year wait goes on

    Meath 0-19 Dublin 1-20 If one wanted to be straightforward about the meeting of the old rivals at Parnell Park tonight, already relegated Meath are still without a point in this year’s National League. And still a decade without a win over the boys in blue. However, when these two collide it’s generally anything but…

  • Murphy’s ‘Major’ seals the deal as McCarthy’s men March on

    LEINSTER MFC; MEATH 1.15 DUBLIN 0-07 A second half goal from Dunshaughlin’s Aaron Murphy pointed the home side towards victory as they completely dominated their old rivals to further underline the progress made and the work which continues to be done with Meath underage teams.

  • Meade and McConnell top the bill on Meath’s day at the races

    The following statement may seem a little awry given the prevailing circumstances which dominate proceedings here, but, so much of our life’s path is shaped for us by those who have gone before. Thus, even though one is precluded from being actively involved on the farming side of things, per say, that an interest in…
