Frayne leads from the front as Meath make winning start
Meath…0-12 Longford…0-04 These are strange times in the GAA. It’s March 21st and there are Provincial Championships under way. In Leinster at least. There’s absolutely no need for such to be the case, and these arrangements will end up creating more problems than it will solve. For now, it is what it is however. What…

Anyone sitting at the table needs a Jack in the pack!
Meath… 2-22 London… 2-21 Jack Regan pointed twice in injury time to ensure Meath left McGovern Park in Ruislip with their unbeaten record in this year’s Allianz NHL intact, but that only tells a fraction of the story. Now read on… The prolific Kiltale clubman has been gradually introduced to Meath’s campaign in recent weeks,…

Spuds are only as good as what you serve with them
Meath…1-11 Dublin…2-19 When Sean Boylan took over as Meath manager in October of 1982, the Royal County hadn’t beaten Dublin in quite some time. Whether it was quite as long as is the current chasm I am unsure, but, in an effort to re-invigorate his then charges in readiness for the battle with the two…

Meath self destruct in derby disaster
Meath… 1-12 Louth… 1-15 I only wish our manager’s optimism in his post match comments after Meath had somehow contrived to throw away a hard earned front foot position against Louth in Round 4 of the Allianz NFL at Pairc Tailteann could be shared. When asked by Brendan Cummins about looking down the table rather…

Disappointing Kehoe conclusion in lunchtime shoot out
Meath… 0-18 Kildare… 2-24 Needing to win big in this lunchtime encounter at Dunganny, the last thing Meath needed was David O’Flaherty rifling to their net inside the first minute. Podge O’Hanrahan responded with two points for Meath, but unfortunately that was as good as it got for them. With James Burke in awesome form…

Hello Mary Kate goodbye Donegal!
Meath…1-07 Donegal…0-05 Summerhill players are a unique breed. Mattie Kerrigan was regarded as one of if not the finest player of his generation. Mick Lyons is still probably the most feared full back in the game, more than three decades after his retirement, Mark O’Reilly was Man Of The Match in an All Ireland Final…

Trying to stop a tsunami with a mop and bucket
At the outset here, let it be made abundantly clear that the decision of Watty Grahams GFC to lodge an objection to the outcome of last Sunday’s All Ireland Club SFC Final is not only understandable but the correct decision. However, that the matter has come to this is a horrendous indictment of GAA leadership…

Three superstars, a plethora of penalties and fairytales not finished yet
A winter’s day, in a deep and dark December. A scenario (Ladies) teams in Meath have got used to. Early Christmas presents. In Meath’s case, an All Ireland IFC win. On the club scene, that meant our history making ladies capturing the Leinster Club SFC this time last year. This year, December action from a…

The harp’s sweet tune gets Tara over the line
Tara…2-11 Moyfernagh…0-12 Second half goals from Declan Smyth (Dunsany) and Tommy Kinsella (Dunshaughlin) completed a fine turnaround for Ger Robinson’s ensemble representing the most sacred place in Meath against Moyfernagh. The latter basically encompassing qualifying clubs (Junior and Intermediate) in the greater Trim area. With the men from where once a harp regaled the halls…

Don’t differentiate between one wrong and another
A guess would be hazarded that this corner is far from alone in having a collection of old VHS tapes. Encompassing football, hurling and rugby matches, race meetings, you name it. But there are also copious comedy collections therein. Today, one of them was catapulted to the forefront of thoughts in this seat. Namely, Vinny…
