    As you were for Anton’s army

    Not surprisingly, Meath camogie manager Anton O’Neill has chosen to keep the faith with the starting 15 which defeated Armagh last weekend ahead of tomorrow’s (Saturday) trip to MTU Kerry (Tralee) to take on Kerry in Round 2 of the Very Ireland National Camogie League. The game will throw in at 1.30pm. That means that,…

  • O’Halloran starts – on paper at least – for Meath

    O’Halloran starts – on paper at least – for Meath

    Despite a sense that a promise from a politician is probably as believable, if not more so, than what appears on a Meath team sheet these days, the humble hack can only work with the material supplied. Thus, Brian O’Halloran’s inclusion in place of Eoin Harkin represents the only the only change from the the…

    Kildalkey double does the trick up North

    MEATH… 2-22 TYRONE… 2-14 Goals in each half from Kildalkey clubmates Nicky Potterton and Evan Fitzgerald proved to be priceless as Meath came away from Tyrone’s Centre Of Excellence in Garvaghy with their unbeaten record in NHL Div. 2 still intact.

  • Returning Regan right on time to rescue Royals

    Returning Regan right on time to rescue Royals

    MEATH… 2-12 DONEGAL… 1-14 Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Meath hurling folk were left to ponder what they were missing last term as three points in injury time from the outstanding Jack Regan got Johnny Greville’s tenure away to a winning beginning in wintry Trim. A trademark coralling of possession, powerful run and bullet…

    Interesting blend of ‘old’ and new in Brennan’s maiden crew

    Seamus Lavin, Bryan Menton and Jack Flynn make intriguing returns to the Meath team while there are first National League starts for Brian O’Halloran (?) and Jack Kinlough as Robbie Brennan has revealed his first matchday panel to take on Cork at Pairc Ui Chaoimh. Dunboyne’s Lavin resumes his old berth at corner back, while…

    First Meath GAA Fixtures of 2025

    And so it begins. The rapidly approaching new season has`probably been on plenty of minds already between the annual roll out of the managerial merry-go-round and some fairly high profile incoming ‘signings’ for clubs. But, it is, at last in my view, starting to feel a lot more real now with the release of the…

    Meath’s ‘Summer’ journeys mapped out

    Competitively speaking, life under Robbie Brennan and Johnny Greville’s stewardship hasn’t even begun and already the bigger picture looms on the horizon, with Championship fixture schedules confirmed for all county teams bar the senior hurlers. Brennan’s bunch will begin their odyssey in the ‘main’ competition at home to Carlow on March 6th. Should they clear…

  • Ratoath grab the headlines again with Galvin acquisition

    Ratoath grab the headlines again with Galvin acquisition

    No, not the racehorse, the other lad. You have to admire entities, sporting or otherwise, with their ambitions pointed in the right direction and the b***s to go after them. On that score, Ratoath are never found wanting. Since first making their breakthrough on the Meath club football scene in the early 2000s, they have…
