The curiosities of NBA discipline
Did you ever notice yourself changing and not be able to quite figure out why? For example, when I was younger, the mere smell of things like coleslaw, potato salad or beetroot would have me dry reaching in seconds. Whereas now, any of the above would happily be tore into. With the only slight proviso…

Thank you Offaly
“Is this to be it for Donegal? It would be a victory that would do an awful lot of counties an awful lot of good”. It was and it did. That quote was Ger Canning’s commentary on Declan Bonner’s iconic point which sealed a first serenading of Sam for the men from The Hills. Sensationally…

Sideline Cuts – 35
At some point in the closing stages of Saturday’s Leinster SHC encounter at Parnell Park, Kilkenny’s Cian Kenny got absolutely pulvarised by a Dublin opponent.

Partly to see what sort of reaction it would receive, when doing my Facebook Check-In for Meath’s match against Wexford, it was referred to as the All Ireland IFC quarter final. Disappointingly, nobody took the bait. That’s what it should be called, though. As should…

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…

Three new faces as Tailteann takes off
Goalkeeper Sean Brennan, midfielder Conor Gray and corner forward Aaron Lynch will make their Championship debuts for Meath in tomorrow’s Tailteann Cup opener against Tipperary in Navan. Dunderry’s Brennan was a member of a successful county Minor side a few years ago and made his competitive debut earlier in the year in the O’Byrne Cup.…

Tailteann Cup opening pairings revealed
Anybody who questions the GAA’s willingness to and alacrity at the accepting and implementation of change should use the the example of the coalition between Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the GanGreen Party as a reference point. Now read on… Nobody really wanted it, nobody is sure how it came about but it’s holding steadily…
