Rugged rurals often set the stiffest exams
Sadly, however, that was only a fraction of their worries as, shortly before the break, exciting attacker Sean Delaney crumpled with a ghastly looking knee injury and only minutes after the resumption, wing back Cian Smith similarly had to be assisted off the field.

Fine comeback gets Dunboyne off on a winning note
St Peter’s…4.15 St Ultan’s/Cortown Gaels…2-14 Having lost out narrowly to long standing rivals St Colmcille’s in the Div. 1 MFL Final, the black and ambers will have justifiably high hopes of being right in the mix of contenders for the Delaney Cup a little further on down the road.

St Peter’s Dunboyne… 1-14 Rathkenny… 1-14 Charlie Gallagher’s booming free two minutes into stoppage time rescued a draw for Dunboyne at the end of this exciting Fairyhouse Steel SFC encounter at Dunsany on Thursday evening.

Dunboyne left glancing over their shoulder
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…1-09Ratoath…0-15 A fifth defeat in nine league games leaves Dunboyne dangling just above the bacon slicer that is relegation and in a situation where they must get a win from either of their final two matches against Donaghmore/Ashbourne and Skryne respectively. Another narrow defeat will have done little to lift spirits in the…

If we play as selected we’ve a great chance
Having just typed the above headline, I realise there’s probably as much chance of me walking down for a pint as there is of the said eventuality coming to pass, but, even in light of the cataclysmic loss of Ruairi Kinsella, the listed half forward line has me salivating at what might be possible if…

Patchy display leaves Peter’s pointless
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-13 Wolfe Tones…1-17 Home side Dunboyne got off to a flying start in the basking Tuesday evening heat, opening up a lead of 0-05 to 0-00 before their old rivals in purple and gold completely dominated the remainder of the first half with Caolan and Fiachra Ward and Tomas O’Reilly leading a blitz…

Meath go through the gears in second half to see off dogged Laois
MEATH… 3-12 LAOIS… 0-10 The final score states there were 11 points between the sides at the end, but don’t fooled. Inclination might be to think that this was a fairly routine night’s work for Cathal O’Bric’s team, but it was anything but. Now, as if to directly contradict the above statement, Meath never looked…

An impressive tally in no-win situation
MEATH… 5-19 CARLOW… 2-09 Cathal O’Bric’s Meath U-20 footballers got the county’s quest for a third consecutive provincial final appearance with a 19 point win at Netwatch Dr Cullen Park on Wednesday night. With the greatest respect to the host county, no matter what way the evening went for the young Royals, they were on…

Dunboyne up and trotting at least!
St Peter’s, Dunboyne… 0-17Trim… 1-14 A draw was probably the fairest outcome as the home side eventually got their season off the ground with a draw having trailed for the majority of the contest. An early Trim goal gave Ken Robinson’s team an advantage they resiliently kept until well down the home straight. However, with…
