McGregor strikes knockout blow as Meath struggles continue
Meath… 2-05 Waterford… 1-09 Unfortunately the sun didn’t shine – literally or metaphorically – on a proud day for Ballinlough GFC as they played host to what turned out to be another disappointing defeat for Meath in the Lidl Ladies NFL.

Meath bolster their spine for voyage to The ‘Lough
Meath manager Davy Nelson has made two changes to his team for Sunday’s Lidl Ladies NFL joust with Waterford at Ballinlough’s magnificent looking facilities.

Meath make three changes for Kerry trip
Emma Duggan’s inclusion at centre field is most noteworthy of three changes announced by Meath manager Davy Nelson from the side which lost to Mayo ahead of the trip to Kerry in the latest round of the Lidl Ladies NFL. While it seems highly unlikely the Dunboyne clubwoman will line out as selected, her inclusion…

Duggy makes the difference as Royals rally for draw
Meath…0-09 Galway…0-09 The above headline might give the impression that it was the Davy Nelson’s side who equalised – which wasn’t the case – but given the way the Connacht side dominated for long spells over the hour, it’d be ventured the locals will be glad to have got something from their third Lidl Ladies…

Hello Mary Kate goodbye Donegal!
Meath…1-07 Donegal…0-05 Summerhill players are a unique breed. Mattie Kerrigan was regarded as one of if not the finest player of his generation. Mick Lyons is still probably the most feared full back in the game, more than three decades after his retirement, Mark O’Reilly was Man Of The Match in an All Ireland Final…

Sport doesn’t need the 25th to bring gifts
It’s 11.41pm on Christmas Eve and here I am starting a post. Christmas means different things for different people. For some, cough, it can be an endurance test. That said, there are silver linings to it, as were alluded to here earlier in the week. An abundance of horse racing, soccer, darts and, eh, yeah,…

Maria Kealy – Dunshaughlin & Royal Gaels GFC – RIP
I am absolutely stunned and devastated to have just learned of the passing of Maria Kealy. What an amazingly positive person. I truly cannot contemplate what her husband Micky Johnson, parents Pat, Ead and all of their family are going through, let alone how a Dunshaughlin team – managed by Maria’s brother Richie and including…

Forget Milwall, we need that chant for ourselves
It’s an unfortunate back handed compliment that, when you’re the best at what you do, there’s always somebody waiting to knock you off your perch. When you don’t disappear fast enough, they get ratty and try to dislodge you by nefarious means. As my late father correctly observed about a certain political party, if they…
