Meath nearly hit a score for every player on the pitch
Meath… 0-28 Tyrone… 0-20 When putting up the ‘Check In’ post on Facebook upon arrival at Pairc Tailteann early on Saturday evening, no secret was made of the reality that one was unsure what, if any, of the sliotar the one seeing eye here would be able to pick up. It being a first match…

Meath leave well enough alone where possible
Sean Geraghty coming in as a direct replacement for the suspended James Toher is the only change to the Meath senior hurling team from that which defeated Derry ahead of Saturday’s encounter against Tyrone at Pairc Tailteann.

Not many scores but no shortage of bite either

The ball’s not even thrown in and the off-the-ball digs are flying
Note to self: Don’t read fan forums. At half time in what I think was the 1992 Leinster SFC Final, legend has it the Dublin and Kildare players got a little hot and bothered about each other on the way down the tunnel. It was the first incident of its type this writer can recall.…

The harp’s sweet tune gets Tara over the line
Tara…2-11 Moyfernagh…0-12 Second half goals from Declan Smyth (Dunsany) and Tommy Kinsella (Dunshaughlin) completed a fine turnaround for Ger Robinson’s ensemble representing the most sacred place in Meath against Moyfernagh. The latter basically encompassing qualifying clubs (Junior and Intermediate) in the greater Trim area. With the men from where once a harp regaled the halls…

Familiar faces and family values to the fore
Boyne Valley… 1-13 Blackwater… 0-14 The most notable thing about this evening’s Regional Football Championship double header at Dunganny tonight was surely the appearance of decorated Royal warriors Mickey Burke and Mickey Newman with their respective Divisional sides. Well, that and the decisive influence of the Curtis clan in this close contest. We’ll get back…
