    As you were for McCarthy’s men

    In a nod to a team which has been impressively efficient throughout their campaign to date, John McCarthy has named an unchanged starting 15 for tomorrow evening’s Leinster U-20 FC semi final against Dublin at Pairc Tailteann (6.30). What that means is that both Ciaran Caulfield and Alan Bowden retain their places after the victory…

    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.…

    Regan finds his range as Meath Shine in taking title

    Meath…0-20 Donegal…0-14 Having just seen the Roscommon football team with which he is a mentor defeat his native Donegal and in so doing relegate them, Mark McHugh stated that, having attained promotion last season under Anthony Cunningham, their main objective was to maintain their top flight status. Having become something of a yoyo team in…

    Four changes for final League fling

    The Meath team to take on Kildare in tomorrow’s final round of the Allianz NFL shows four changes from that which lost out to Dublin last weekend. At least one of the alterations is enforced with Donal Keogan’s incredible 83-game not-out streak ended after the inspirational Rathkennny clubman was forced off with a hamstring injury…

    Frayne leads from the front as Meath make winning start

    Meath…0-12 Longford…0-04 These are strange times in the GAA. It’s March 21st and there are Provincial Championships under way. In Leinster at least. There’s absolutely no need for such to be the case, and these arrangements will end up creating more problems than it will solve. For now, it is what it is however. What…
