Holders still standing with one hurdle to go
Dunboyne…3-14 Seneschalstown…1-06 Having just been a solitary point to the good at half time, Joe Breen Cup holders Dunboyne turned in an exceptional second half effort in this re-fixed Ladies SFC semi final in Ashbourne on Tuesday night. The Yellow Furze outfit were actually much the quicker into their stride and constructed a five point…

Frustrated relief
Dunboyne…4-15 Moynalvey…0-10 Chances are yours truly wasn’t the only one in these parts – or Moynalvey – in absolutely no mood for football on Friday night. How could either place be, with the heart and soul having been ripped out of both communities when Damien O’Reilly was taken from us long, long before his time,…

Sideline Cuts – 29
SLEEPING GIANTS AWAKEN For very poignant reasons, on several occasions this year, the All Ireland winning Meath team of 1967 were brought to mind. This time round however, their mention is in a brighter context. Now read on… Peter McDermott’s team way back then were – unthinkable as it might seem now – backboned by…

An epic and equally upsetting weekend
If anybody has become bored or annoyed by my re-posting match text commentary in recent weeks I apologise. It’s my way of dealing with Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and/or separation anxiety, whichever you want to call it. From not being able to attend matches it is desired to be at. Without wanting to play…

What is the past and will soon become the past gone in the space of a day
Again, I find myself referring to Ireland’s greatest man of letters, Con Houlihan. Apologies if mention of the man who – as he put it himself – was born in a blizzard in December 1925 – has become a bit laboursome. It will be contended, though, that if a point retains credence, it warrants repetition.…

Accurate Aoife leaves glass half full for resolute Royals
Meath…2-06 Derry…1-09 Aoife Minogue cut a dejected figure as the full time whistle sounded in this thrilling All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Final at Croke Park. But she was being hard on herself by doing so. Her point attempt in the last minute – from a free on the sideline on the Hogan Stand side of…

Lenihan the difference as Dunboyne get desired start
Dunboyne… 2-14 Seneschalstown… 0-12 A Tailteann Cup medal, a wedding ring and the small matter of a honeymoon – it’s been some couple of weeks for Donal Lenihan. Now read on… The good vibes continued for the accurate forward tonight in Dunsany as he hit 1-10 when Ger Robinson’s men opened their SFC Group B…

Ladies make it a Royal double on a day enveloped in poignance
Meath… 1-13 Waterford… 1-08 Don’t try to figure out how the world works. You’ll only shorten and enrage your time in it. For the second time in six months, Meath GAA, and Dunshaughlin/Royal Gaels in particular, have been plunged into grief, disbelief and heartache. On December 3rd last, Maria Kealy could give no more to…

McGowan back in for Meath
Having made a game changing contribution when introduced against Down two weeks ago, Ratoath’s Daithi McGowan retains his place in the starting 15 as Meath prepare to take on Wexford in tomorrow evening’s Tailteann Cup quarter final. Ciaran Caulfield, who was forced off with an injury after half an hour the last day, is listed…
