    Meath repel Mayo spirit to maintain promotion hopes

    MEATH… 0-20 MAYO… 1-12 With those considered to be the strongest teams in the division, Laois and Kerry still on their ‘to do’ list, Meath certainly won’t be getting ahead of themselves. At the same time, though, they can only deal with what’s in front of them on a given day. To that end, most…

  • Another task ticked off the list but nothing on the shelf yet

    Another task ticked off the list but nothing on the shelf yet

    MEATH…1-21 KILDARE…0-10 Balancing gut feeling with reality can be a very tricky task indeed. Six days ago, from a certain angle, Meath were somewhat unlucky to come away from Pairc Ui Rinn empty handed, yet an objective analysis would also conclude that they left enough waste behind them to have had the game won. Tonight…

    Parity of esteem? Particles of it more like

    It’s curios how tastes change as life goes on. Literally and in terms of life in general.

On the other hand, though, now, at the appropriate time of year, a feed can’t be had without some or…

    Shine returns to brighten Meath’s prospects

    Having been an absentee for the defeat to Westmeath in Mullingar a fortnight ago, Tom Shine will be a welcome sight on the horizon for Johnny Greville et al as will the home comforts of St Loman’s Park in Trim as Meath aim to get their NHL Div. 2 campaign back on track against Derry…

    It only takes a minute lads!

    MEATH…2-17 CAVAN…1-18 My obsession with and love for farming and machinery, particularly classic or vintage or classic iterations thereof, is something which I hope is still in me even when the pulse is gone. That said, February 1st in a darkening Breffni Park might seem a curious time to be musing on such things, but…

    The Mighty Flynn gets Meath off to a flyer

    MEATH…0-19 DERRY…1-13 Little fish are sweet. A bit of history being made into the bargain never hurts either. The latter being applicable on two fronts. Firstly, on a personal level, as it was the first time yours truly was at a match (that finished) under the bulbs in GAA HQ. And secondly, in the first…
