Royal Famous Five Recognition And Opportunity (edited 26/9/25, 11.00am)
The Meath quintet of Sean Rafferty, Ciaran Caulfield, Mat Costello, Ruairi Kinsella and Jordan Morris have all been included in the PWC/GAA All Star Nominations. Their shortlisting represents due recognition for the significant progress achieved during Robbie Brennan’s first season as manager of the Royal County. What the acknowledgement of the lads’ excellence also does,…

Camogie Association – or GAA – can no longer Skort around issues as Girl Power talks
In the end, as with many societal issues, you were left wondering what all the fuss was about. That is not meant by way of demeaning the issues which had caused the contention. Quite the contrary in fact. That the ballot called as a means of concluding the contentious kerfuffie ends up being very lopsided…

Three out of four might go with form but there’s always the one…
There are always little signs. If you go back to one of the greatest GAA occurrences ever seen 33 years ago this week – Kevin Foley’s goal for Meath in the fourth game against Dublin – it’s hardly coincidence that they spent two hours rehearsing the move on a soccer pitch in Scotland seven days…

Neither of them have gone away, you know
Some of the Provincial Championships are alive and well. Praise the Lord. In fact, looking at Jimmy winning matches again made one very grateful that Donegal didn’t produce their swashbuckling seismic performance against Meath a few weeks earlier. They say that immitation is the greatest form of flattery. And, by God, all and sundry in…

Same again for second half of Super Saturday
In what must be seen as a nod of satisfaction with the form and confidence in and within her team, Jenny Rispin has again named the same Meath team to take on Kerry in Saturday night’s All Ireland Ladies SFC quarter final in Tralee. Since the sides met in the Brendan Martin Cup Final 51…

T/I) as Colm O’Rourke continues his rotational policy with his charges on the cusp of knockout football once again. The Curraha clubman will lead the Royal County attack on…

No Gray areas as Meath take care of business
Meath… 1-19 Tipperary… 0-11 In many ways, Meath were on a hiding to nothing this evening. They were expected to win and win well. Having done so, it’s very much a case of taking care of business. If they hadn’t, it would’ve been a case of wigs on the Fair Green. Doubtless, when the locals…

You don’t pay for a cow’s silage when ordering a litre of milk!
The thing that surprised me most was the fact that it took a very open, honest interview with Wexford legend Tom Dempsey for me to catch onto and agree with the point he was making. To go forward with this production we must first go back. What is probably more years than any of us…

Glenn might be left thinking ‘less said, soonest mended’
Undoubtedly one of the most famous – or infamous, depending on whicb way you view it – media interactions in the history of the Premier League was when Kevin Keegan absolutely lost the plot during the season in which his Newcastle United were engaged in a protracted title tussle with Manchester United. The Magpies boss’s…

As you were – nobody will want the Breffni blues
Armagh… 1-14 Cavan… 0-10 There are rare occasions when you wish your gut instinct might be wrong. For example, in relation to Neil Robertson’s propensity to find ways not to win the World Snooker Championship. Ditto Rory McIlroy with the US Masters. However, thankfully it’s a case of as you were regarding inclinations in this…
