Nicky Pots the green (flag) ball as Meath gain vital win
Meath…1-21 Derry…1-19 In another sporting event making headlines at the moment, potting the black ball can make all the difference between winning and losing and landing the white in the scoring area can lead to disaster. This afternoon in Owenbeg, it was Nicky Potterton’s entrenching of the white ball in the Derry net and the…

An ugly win is a learning win
Meath…0-08 Westmeath…1-03 Even using the most elaborate journalistic or poetic license possible, one would get to turn the sow’s ear of a match into a silk purse.

Laois grab the momentum and the win as Meath crash to earth
Meath… 1-07 Laois… 1-12 There are some lessons in life one simply has to learn the hard way. In all the years I’ve been doing match reports – either on the club’s behalf or my own – have I noted down a score before a shot was taken. Don’t do it, it’s a total jinx.…
