When more goals aren’t enough
MEATH… 2-15 KILDARE… 1-20 All anybody wants and should be entitled to is fair play. Meath got nowhere near that from the officials in this Leinster U-20 FC semi final at Cedral St Conleth’s Park. How these referee appointments are arrived at is another topic entirely, but all anbody wants is for the rules to…

Many young men of 20 will aim to take Meath to final hat-trick
If you’ll forgive the bit of journalistic licence, it should of course read many young men of U-20, but one couldn’t resist the opportunity to include a reference to the rebel ballad best performed – in my humble opinion – by Ronnie Drew. Anyway, you get the gist. Meath U-20 football manager Cathal O’Bric has…

The Dublin job and the four faced auld clock
Ger Brennan’s decision to step down as Louth senior football manager may have caught a lot of people cold. Nowhere more so than in the Wee County. However, while folk in Louth might have their own theories – some of which may seem blatantly obvious – but it might not be as simple as that.…

O’Bric repeats the same trick – simple but effective
In a development as obvious and unsurprising as ice cream selling well on a hot day, Meath manager Cathal O’Bric has announced the same starting 15 and extended matchday panel ahead of tonight’s final of the Dalata Hotels Group Leinster U-20 FC in Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge. That means that Dunshaughlin’s Fiach Hartigan…

Change of venue for Leinster Final
As if the high drama on the pitch involving Meath teams over the past week or so wasn’t enough, things took another twist prior to the Royal County’s meeting with Louth in tomorrow (Wednesday) evening’s Leinster U-20 FC Final – of course they did – with the revelation that the showdown for the Seamus Flood…

Almost as you were for Meath
Meath have made only minimal alterations to their side ahead of this (Tuesday) evening’s Leinster U-20 FC semi final against Kildare at Donaghmore/Asbourne. The only ‘Change’ to the side which defeated Wexford a week ago sees Kilbride’s Finn White switch from centre back out to the left wing with Fiach Hartigan (Dunshauglin) going in the…

Meath’s self assurance amid confusion gets them over the line
MEATH… 0-20 WEXFORD… 2-10 When is a two-pointer not a two-pointer? That ended up being a pivotal question in the dying embers of this Leinster U-20 FC quarter final in Ashbourne on Wednesday evening. When a referee, line umpire and two goal umpires can’t make up their minds. Dunboyne’s John Harkin lofting over a skyscraper…

Meath reveal hand for Wexford encounter
Cathal O’Bric has made 13 changes to the side which lost out to Offaly late on last week ahead of tonight’s (Wednesday) Leinster U-20 FC quarter final against Wexford in Ashbourne. Only Dunshaughlin’s Fiach Hartigan and Zach Thornton from the host club are retained from the completely different 15 which took on the Faithful County…

Plenty of positives to be gleaned from last minute defeat
MEATH…2-11 OFFALY…1-15 Before the availability of online betting and the onset of Covid-19, it was part of the daily routine for whatever wheels were transporting me at the time to roll up the town and I’d stick on my Lucky 15 or whatever other multiple took my fancy on a given day. Well, there’s a…

Mc puts the knife in the neighbours
MEATH… 0-19 WESTMEATH… 0-12 How often do you see it, we in the media rave about a particular player, thus whenever he or she lines out again in one sense the masses expect an action replay and in another, forthcoming opponents obsess about ensuring that doesn’t happen. On the latter point, Westmeath full back Adam…
