Experience trumps ingenuity but still positives to take
MEATH… 0-15 OFFALY… 2-13 First off, nobody likes losing any game, and the Meath camp would have loved the opportunity to get more top level mileage into the legs of their younger recruits. But, chances are, in the overall context of the season the Royal entourage will probably lose far less sleep about tonight’s outcome…

New names, same old bravery, heart and skill
MEATH… 2-11 WICKLOW… 1-12 Meath won’t have shortened in the betting for the All Ireland, or the Leinster Championship or even promotion out of Div. 2 of the National Football League.

ST PATRICK’S CS NAVAN… 1-16 COLAISTE EOIN… 4-03 First off, the best bits: inclinations that Clann Na nGael’s Cormac Smith is one of the brightest emerging talents in the county apparently are gloriously true. Secondly, the blistering attacking potential which was so apparent against St Joseph’s of Rochfordbridge was once again there in all its…

The CCCC and The Hooter
It was this morning announced that CCCC of the GAA – formerly the Games Administration Committee – have decided that henceforth once the Hooter sounds in a Gaelic Football match play stops immediately. Bullshit. Had that system been in place during this season’s championship, Ciaran Moore’s magnificent winner for Donegal against Mayo would never have…

Eating cake and having it do not compute
“You can’t stop young people having the opportunity to have a career in sport because there’s not many as sports here in Ireland where there’s that chance as there are in Australia”. Cora Staunton And there you have it. Somebody finally puts it in black and white. Even if the person in question loves talking out…

History for An Tuascairt on day veiled in poignance
AN TUASCAIRT…0-17 MOYFENRAGH…2-09 Perhaps the following is down to the innate superstition which tends to shape a lot of the road yours truly travels in life, but, there’s still a part of me which fears that interest in and commitment to the Brady’s Skoda Regional Football Championship will wain and that it will be let…
