Classism stretches beyond the rancid GPA
The first word in the above headline is a substitute for the original occupant of that slot. Had it been left in, though, the keyboard warriors would’ve been all over yours truly like pepper sauce on a steak. Blurting about hypocrisy and such. Nothing will ever alter my view that senior inter county players should…

Emma Duggan will Captain the Meath seniors for the first time when Wayne Freeman’s tenure begins when the Royal County ladies take on familiar foes Galway in the first round of the Lidl Ladies National League at Summerhill on Sunday afternoon. Duggan will lead the locals out in her role as joint Vice Captain –…

Meath go with strongest team available
If National League team announcements are worth the paper or screens they are written on, Meath have gone with the strongest combination available to them for Saturday’s National League opener against Derry in Croke Park. That means, despite missing Summerhill’s Leinster Club SFC encounter with Athy nearly three months ago, Eoghan Frayne captains the side…

Frayne strain a pain as Royals get ready to rumble
Regardless of the sport, once it’s a team pursuit, the loss of one significant component thereof can have catastrophic consequences for the ambitions and prospects thereof. Whether that be Willie Mullins seeing the services of State Man defenestrated for the season, just as Sir Gino – ironically also in the ownership of Joe and Marie…

Early season football fixtures released
What I believe to be the last club senior county football final of the season takes place on Sunday in Tipperary but, even before this calendar year’s business has been completed, thoughts have very much turned to the 2026 season. Panels have been drawn up – more of that anon – while, more significantly, the…

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.

Stop-start Meath keep ticking over to advance
MEATH…1-19 LONGFORD…3-10 My late father would have called it a performance that was like the Curate’s Egg – good in spots.
