    ‘Crew will be hoping to come out on top

    Lough Crew Gaels are having their best season to date in the Meath Regional Football Championship Sponsored by Brady’s Skoda and Ideal Bathrooms and will be hoping to go through undefeated when tackling a Tara side which have, as yet, been unable to mine a victory this season.

    Harkin’s timely reminder to O’Rourke

    Tara…1-09 Ardbraccan…0-06 A sparkling performance from Tara midfielder Eoin Harkin was the main talking point from this dour Brady’s Skoda Regional Football Championship clash at Dunganny on Tuesday evening. The Dunsany player was one of a number very harshly defenestrated from the Meath panel prior to the commencement of the championship but his fine effort…

    Tully’s three pointer sets holders on road to repeat victory

    BOYNE VALLEY… 1-08 TARA… 0-09 Football in Slane is on the up once again as evidenced by the emergence of players like Tadhg Martyn and Brayden Colfer on county underage teams and the fact was underscored still further when the Louth-border club’s Matt Tully turned in an outstanding display in the opening round of the…

    After a highly successful and entertaining inaugural staging of the Dioralyte Regional Football Championships in Dunganny over the past month or so, the Chosen Ones – those who caught the eye the most, who will take on Colm O’Rourke’s Meath selection at the Meath Centre Of Excellence (11am) are as follows: SEAN BRENNAN (DARNLEY/DUNDERRY) MICHAEL…

    River men’s free running style sees them sail to success

    Boyne Valley… 2-11 Tara… 0-07 A varied and attractive style of football – something synonymous with Cathal O’Bric-trained teams – held sway as the Walterstown/Bective/Rathkenny/Slane were deserving winners of the inaugural Regional Football Championship Final in Ashbourne on Sunday. At this point, this writer would like to place on record sincere thanks to Coiste Na…

    Scores like buses as Tara secure title tilt

    Tara…2-02 An Tuaisceart…0-07 Whether Tara manager Ger Robinson and his fellow mentors have somebody like renowned statistician and analyst Ray Boyne working with them is unknown. If they have, I would love to be a fly on the wall for the de-brief after last night’s Regional Football Championship semi final against Brian Farrell’s An Tuaisceart…

    The best advertisment for the Regionals so far

    Tara… 3-12 Blackwater… 2-13 Thirty scores between two teams in what was meant to be a ‘meaningless’ match certainly knocked the theory of it being so on the head. Instead, acting as the best advertisment the Regional Championships have had to date. Factually speaking, both teams did indeed know their fate before the ball was…

    Kelly’s top performance uplifting on several fronts

    Tara…1-11 Boyne Valley…0-13 Earlier this year, eventual champions Dunshaughlin had 18 points to spare over closest neighbours and rivals Blackhall Gaels in the group stages of the Meath IFC. As somebody blessed to have close connections to both clubs – not to mention being the nephew of a former Chairman of the latter when they…

    The ball’s not even thrown in and the off-the-ball digs are flying

    Note to self: Don’t read fan forums. At half time in what I think was the 1992 Leinster SFC Final, legend has it the Dublin and Kildare players got a little hot and bothered about each other on the way down the tunnel. It was the first incident of its type this writer can recall.…
