    Hoping to reunite with a familiar friend

    Trevor Giles and his Meath Minor side will be aiming for a reunion with a familiar friend at Laois Hire O’Moore Park in Portlaoise this evening (7:35 throw in) when they tackle a rematch against Kildare in the Electric Ireland Leinster MFC Final. Should they manage to turn around the result of their initial encounter…

  • Same force head for the Faithful County

    Same force head for the Faithful County

    Having hit a dozen goals in their last two outings, Meath’s Minor footballers face into their third consecutive game on the road with an unchanged ensemble from that which defeated Hugh Kenny’s Wicklow in Aughrim seven days ago. Hence Syddan’s Tomas Dillon retains his place at left corner forward having started as a late replacement…

    Job done, move on, start building

    MEATH… 6-22 LAOIS… 0-07 In such no-win situations, there’s only one thing a body can do – win. Tick the box and move on. If you do manage to win, you are only doing as would have been expected and if you don’t well, let’s not go there. So, credit to them, when Trevor Giles’s…

    Meath Club Hurling Championship Draws 2026

    Before going a yard further, I must first apologise for not having the below hurling draws up at the same time as their football brethern. The simple and honest explanation is that fuel reserves with the occupant of this seat were flagging between team news for and match reports on weekend events in National League…

    Positivity there if you want to see it

    MEATH… 3-06 WICKLOW… 0-16 Matches at this time of year, and particularly hurling ones, should be legally obliged to come with a disclaimer. Accompanied by the familiar skull and cross bones label. Under no circumstances are patrons or participants to indulge in serious analysis of what transpires beyond this point. As a reference point, consider…

    One change for the Ladies

    In a nod to the fact that while a few results haven’t gone their way of late but at the same time they haven’t been doing a whole lot wrong, Meath have made just one change ahead of what amounts to a semi final in the TG4 Leinster LSFC against Kildare at Cedral St Conleth’s…

    Stop-start Meath keep ticking over to advance

    MEATH…1-19 LONGFORD…3-10 My late father would have called it a performance that was like the Curate’s Egg – good in spots. But the Meath Minors were good in enough spots to keep themselves ticking over as they saw off the challenge of a plucky home side in Clonguish on Thursday night to advance to the…

    Meath Club Championship Draws 2025

    At the time of typing, none of the National Leagues at inter county level nor the league or Cup competitions at club level have thrown in for the 2025 season, yet last night (Thursday) the draws were completed for the adult club championships in football and hurling. They are scheduled to commence in early August.…

    Forget about a day like this, how about a week?

    “We’ll drink to those who are here today, and remember those who are gone”. So begins one of the verses in the beautiful, moving number penned by Charlie Walls Lord knows how long ago, The Big Tree which has very much become Dunboyne’s ‘national’ anthem. Especially since being eternally enshrined as such on Mick McAuley’s…
