An all too familiar feeling for Dunboyne
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…1-21St Colmcille’s…2-20 (A.E.T.) Dunboyne produced some wonderful phases of play at times in the latest clash between the familiar foes in the All County IFC semi final at Tony Callaghan Park, Duleek on Sunday evening but, in a scenario that has been an all too familiar one for the club’s teams this season…

The mirror houses the sternest jury
At the outset, let me be very clear here – when you only win one game out of three, two of which were against teams who failed to rise a gallop last season, you can really blame nobody but yourself. When you have parity at worst going down the stretch in the two defeats and…

Seconds bring some cheer on rollercoaster day
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…2-10 Summerhill…0-14 As was the case in the first stanza of the club football championships, Dunboyne’s Intermediate side lifted the spirits in the camp after the seniors had suffered another disappointing reversal earlier in the day against the same opposition, also at Pairc Tailteann.

Tommy Smyth Snr – R.I.P.
Sincere sympathy is extended to Eileen, Ed, Tommy, girls and the extended Smyth family of Bennettstown, Batterstown and beyond. It is with deep sadness I learn of Tommy Snr’s passing. A quiet, softly spoken gentleman, the last remaining pillar of one of Meath’s great sporting dynasties. His passing marks the end of an era. But…

Robbie Brennan’s first interview as Meath senior football manager
Robbie Brennan sits down with Meath Co Committee P.R.O. Brian Kelly for his first interview since his appointment as successor to Colm O’Rourke.
