McCormack maintains consistency of selections
Shane McCormack has once against kept the faith with those who got much closer to winning the Leinster SFC last month than most people expected. Indeed, they may have actually achieved the feat were it not for the fact that certain Meath players couldn’t get a free off Amazon, never mind the referee. Still, they…

A little bit of history as evolving Meath break new ground
MEATH… 1-13 CORK… 0-12 The last time this writer can recall rain of such torrential proportions falling in Pairc Tailteann was on the occasion of Colm O’Rourke’s last outing for Meath on the home sod. The first round of the Leinster SFC of 1995. Now read on… So bad was it that day that Westmeath…

Impact subs rewarded with a start
Robbie Brennan has made two changes to the side which went within one bad refereeing decision of winning the Leinster SFC two weeks ago ahead of Saturday’s All Ireland SFC opening round encounter with familiar foes Cork at Pairc Tailteann. Fair play to Sam Mulroy for exacting punishment on a foul which only one person…

A change between the posts
Manager Joe Cowley has made one to the team which defeated Longford two weeks ago ahead of tonight’s Leinster MFC last eight encounter against Offaly at Pairc Tailteann. In what is, in fairness, a rare occurrence, Seneschalstown’s Charlie Finnegan takes over between the posts with Kian Campbell of Clonard making way. The young Royals will…

Cleary straight back in to skipper Royals
Meath manager Shane McCormack has opted to put captain Aisling Cleary straight back into his starting 15 ahead of their showdown with Dublin in the first round of the TG4 Leinster LSFC at Pairc Tailteann.

However, where people of a certain age group might go for an episode of Friends or The Big Bang Theory or, Lord help us…

Only enforced change for Meath
Aaron Lynch replaces the luckless Jack Kinlough in the only change to the Meath team which saw off the challenge of an accurate Carlow side last Sunday. There are those who would deem the Faithful County favourites for tomorrow’s Leinster SFC encounter, not a difficult stance to understand given the fact that they have just…

Two newcomers as Royals hit the ‘summer’ road
Before getting into the meat of matters here (sure there could be a tarrif on even talking about that now) can I just say that it’s a relief to be talking about football matters and a football match after what has been an extremely tough week. Made so by entities seemingly determined to make their…

Goals win the day as young Royals off to a fine start
MEATH… 4-10 WESTMEATH… 0-10 Sport – the emotional rollcoaster that makes life worth living. Until it virtually becomes the definition of life itself. Thus, the highs propel spirits to such levels that the moon could roll out the red carpet. Conversely however, the lows hammer to such an extent that an elevator would be required…

A lot done, a lot more to do, glass half full
MEATH… 1-20 MONAGHAN… 1-29 Let’s get the ugly business out of the way first. The four game unbeaten run has come to an end. In all honesty, that such is the case wouldn’t be that big of a shock. Now read on… It is beyond question that Meath have made significant progress thus far this…
