The green moon rising eventually takes off
Kerry…0-20 Galway…0-16 If you’ve been frequenting this space for long enough, it will surely have cropped up in your perusals that musical tastes in this seat are many and varied. To put it very mildly. From The Dubliners to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash to The Irish Tenors, you wouldn’t just know what would rock up…

Left wondering how Con would have portrayed it all
Kerry…1-14 Dublin…1-13 If something looks too good to be true, it generally is. Against that, however, the simplest and most obvious explanation is indeed often the correct one. Such was the case in Croke Park on Sunday last. The meeting of Kerry and Dublin was indeed the game of the season, so far, or, for…

One last serving of dodgy cuisine as Pat bow’s out.
Galway… 2-08 Derry… 1-06 At the throw in here, let it be known categorically that the headline is not aimed at the victors. It is not in the Galway DNA to play unattractive football.

Improved second half won’t mask bitter disappointment
Meath……0-06 Galway……1-14 Though Meath fans of a certain age mightn’t realise it, there have been tough days like this before. As far back as 1990 in fact, the first season during which yours truly began attending matches. Meath were beaten 14 points by Antrim and 16 by Roscommon. What happened thereafter? Now read on… They…

Ratoath men return for Royals
The Ratoath trio of Conor McGill, Bryan McMahon and Joey Wallace return to the Meath starting 15 for tomorrow’s Allianz National Football League opener against Galway. McGill in particular will be a welcome addition to the touring party having been injured in the local club hurling championship at the back end of last year. Robin…

Could ‘New Look’ Mayo be viable dark horses?
A week on and around the dinner table this evening the discussion was still about the short spell a week ago when it appeared Meath might, just might, rock the football world. Alas it wasn’t to be, but as one national media outlet put it in the aftermath of the match that Meath’s valiant effort…
