Try a little Tender(ness)!
For once, at the moment within Meath GAA, breaking news off the field will quite possibly and rightly overshadow anything going on between the lines this week. The Ladies’ qualification for another All Ireland SFC Final obviously excepted. With signs that, at long last, things may be moving towards a physical manifestation of the redevelopment…

Sarah’s finest hour steers Meath back to Croker
MEATH…2-12 KERRY…1-09 For any team to even strive to reach the maximum of their perceived potential, there will be days when those who are often the unsung heroes or heroines ascend to the highest notes to bring the crescendo to its desired conclusion.

If you thought Septic football disappeared with Blatter… Think again.
Do you ever cast your mind back to the world before Netflix? Before specialised channels on the Sky platform. Like the individual discipline channels. History, Arts, Golf, Movies, Racing, Cricket, Documentaries, True Crime. You name it. Now, I’m sure the non sporting genres listed previous always got their run out, it was just that they…

Costello absence glaring as Meath face State exam
If the litmus test for the progress or otherwise of any Meath team is how they acquit themselves against Dublin, then for any senior inter county team attempting to gauge their current state of wellbeing, tackling Kerry must be the on-pitch equivalent of sitting the State exams currently frying the brains of young people nationwide.…
