Same force head for the Faithful County
Having hit a dozen goals in their last two outings, Meath’s Minor footballers face into their third consecutive game on the road with an unchanged ensemble from that which defeated Hugh Kenny’s Wicklow in Aughrim seven days ago. Hence Syddan’s Tomas Dillon retains his place at left corner forward having started as a late replacement…

Job done, move on, start building
MEATH… 6-22 LAOIS… 0-07 In such no-win situations, there’s only one thing a body can do – win. Tick the box and move on. If you do manage to win, you are only doing as would have been expected and if you don’t well, let’s not go there. So, credit to them, when Trevor Giles’s…

A time of opportunity rather than a problem
Transition. Movement. Change. Difference. Essentially, they all describe the same thing. But can have seismically different meanings for different people. Indeed, they can have vastly fluctuating connotations for the same people in differing circumstances. Even for yours truly. For instance, the notion of doing Transition Year after completing the Junior Cert. appeared to be a…

As you were for Minors
Meath Minor football manager Trevor Giles has kept the faith with those who lost out to Louth by the narrowest of margins and played amid horrendous conditions 12 days ago ahead of tonight’s Round 2 outing against Kildare at Fr McManus Park, the home of Skryne GFC. There are, however, a number of alterations to…

Meath go through the gears in second half to see off dogged Laois
MEATH… 3-12 LAOIS… 0-10 The final score states there were 11 points between the sides at the end, but don’t fooled. Inclination might be to think that this was a fairly routine night’s work for Cathal O’Bric’s team, but it was anything but. Now, as if to directly contradict the above statement, Meath never looked…

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…

An impressive tally in no-win situation
MEATH… 5-19 CARLOW… 2-09 Cathal O’Bric’s Meath U-20 footballers got the county’s quest for a third consecutive provincial final appearance with a 19 point win at Netwatch Dr Cullen Park on Wednesday night. With the greatest respect to the host county, no matter what way the evening went for the young Royals, they were on…

Strong second half sees off Skryne
St Peter’s, Dunboyne 1-15 Skryne 1-11 On Friday evening, Dunboyne’s second team travelled to Fr McManus Park and came away victorious when a stirring second half put clear daylight between the sides. The eventual victors held sway by 1-05 to 1-04 at the turnaround before kicking on after the break. St Peter’s – J. McCormack;…

Dunboyne up and trotting at least!
St Peter’s, Dunboyne… 0-17Trim… 1-14 A draw was probably the fairest outcome as the home side eventually got their season off the ground with a draw having trailed for the majority of the contest. An early Trim goal gave Ken Robinson’s team an advantage they resiliently kept until well down the home straight. However, with…
