Golden Oldies and a Sunday morning adjusting to a new high
With exactly 11 minutes to go in Tullamore on Saturday evening last, my significant other began imploring referee Joe McQuillan to blow for full time. Now read on… After removing the Michael out of the poor woman over her time keep miscalculation, it was readily admitted that such was the astonishment and excitement surrounding the…

Masterful Monica to lead from the back
The best goalkeeper in Ladies Football for the past decade, Monica McGuirk, is wholly deserving of the latest honour bestowed upon her after it was announced that the vastly experienced netminder had been appointed Royal County captain by new Meath manager Shane McCormack. The Duleek-Bellewstown clubwoman has been one of the cornerstones upon which Meath’s…

Time to invoke the siege mentality
Meath… 0-12 Donegal… 1-10 Why or how Milwall ever came up with their infamous “We are Milwall, nobody likes us, we don’t care” chant is beyond me. It’s not as if they were ever any good. Affixing the same mantra to Meath football teams is far easier to understand. Reason being none other than the…

Forget Milwall, we need that chant for ourselves
It’s an unfortunate back handed compliment that, when you’re the best at what you do, there’s always somebody waiting to knock you off your perch. When you don’t disappear fast enough, they get ratty and try to dislodge you by nefarious means. As my late father correctly observed about a certain political party, if they…

Twice as nice
Meath 3-10 Kerry… 1-07 1949, 1954, 1967, 1987, 1988, 1996, 1999, 2021, 2022. Even looking at it written in front of you is to be struck by awe. Before anyone says anything, the majestic achievements of Eamonn Murray’s charges over the past two seasons merit equal if not greater commendation than the seven All Ireland…

It doesn’t matter how you do it once its done
Meath…0-12 Donegal…1-07 What defines a true champion? Actually, that’s another question to which there’s no definitive single answer. However, knowing how to win is often the biggest factor.
