Super Smyth sparkles as Meath brilliantly steady the ship
MEATH…2-14 DUBLIN…1-04 Do not adjust your screens. The score before you is indeed correct. Some turnaround from 0-10 to 2-16 on the August Bank Holiday weekend. Alright, alright, romantic dreaming aside, the manner in which the Royal ladies rebounded after last week’s disappointment against Galway was impressive in itself. That, combined with the fact that…

Closer but still not over the line
Meath…0-11 Cork…2-08 This writer has no idea where the saying ‘Close but no cigar’ originated from but at Pairc Ui Rinn on Saturday lunchtime it was a case of close but not over the line for the Meath as they slipped to another narrow defeat in the final round of the Lidl Ladies NFL. The…

McGregor strikes knockout blow as Meath struggles continue
Meath… 2-05 Waterford… 1-09 Unfortunately the sun didn’t shine – literally or metaphorically – on a proud day for Ballinlough GFC as they played host to what turned out to be another disappointing defeat for Meath in the Lidl Ladies NFL.

Meath bolster their spine for voyage to The ‘Lough
Meath manager Davy Nelson has made two changes to his team for Sunday’s Lidl Ladies NFL joust with Waterford at Ballinlough’s magnificent looking facilities.

Back with another video update after far too long (again, I know) having been held up with a bad run of injuries and illness. The main focus of this offering centres on the unacceptable conundrum faced by dual players of Camogie and Ladies Football and how everyone – individual players and teams alike – suffer…

Oh Mary these fixtures are an absolute farce
During my long stint as PRO/Assistant PRO of our club, during the summer months in particular, it wouldn’t be unusual for myself and da to be at 10, 11 or a dozen matches in a week. Not that anything was ever thought of it because it was very much a labour of love and never…

Meath make three changes for Kerry trip
Emma Duggan’s inclusion at centre field is most noteworthy of three changes announced by Meath manager Davy Nelson from the side which lost to Mayo ahead of the trip to Kerry in the latest round of the Lidl Ladies NFL. While it seems highly unlikely the Dunboyne clubwoman will line out as selected, her inclusion…

Duggy makes the difference as Royals rally for draw
Meath…0-09 Galway…0-09 The above headline might give the impression that it was the Davy Nelson’s side who equalised – which wasn’t the case – but given the way the Connacht side dominated for long spells over the hour, it’d be ventured the locals will be glad to have got something from their third Lidl Ladies…

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…

Rusty Royals will hopefully come on for the run
Meath… 0-08 Dublin… 1-11 Defending Lidl National Football League and TG4 All Ireland Champions Meath will be hoping it turns out to be a case of ‘Will come on for the run’ after a disappointing start to their 2023 season at DCU St Claire’s this evening. Stacey Grimes, Niamh O’Sullivan and Olivia Callan were late…
