If anybody has become bored or annoyed by my re-posting match text commentary in recent weeks I apologise. It’s my way of dealing with Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and/or separation anxiety, whichever you want to call it. From not being able to attend matches it is desired to be at. Without wanting to play… Read More An epic and equally upsetting weekend
Meath… 2-23 Wexford… 0-12 To firstly tidy up the nuts and bolts of the situation, any day you kick 2-23 and keep a clean sheet has to be regarded as a good day’s work. Anyone scoffing ‘it was only Wexford’ obviously hasn’t been following the formbook lately. This was the same Wexford team which scored… Read More Another hurdle crossed as Meath Croker bound
James McEntee will make his first competitive start of 2023 for Meath in tomorrow’s Tailteann Cup third round encounter against Down in Parnell Park tomorrow (1P.M. T/I) as Colm O’Rourke continues his rotational policy with his charges on the cusp of knockout football once again.

Sean Geraghty coming in as a direct replacement for the suspended James Toher is the only change to the Meath senior hurling team from that which defeated Derry ahead of Saturday’s encounter against Tyrone at Pairc Tailteann. That means that the great Mickey Burke is in line for what will be his 197th outing in… Read More Meath leave well enough alone where possible
Meath…0-08 Westmeath…1-03 Even using the most elaborate journalistic or poetic license possible, one would get to turn the sow’s ear of a match into a silk purse. Yet in one way at least, Meath won’t care a jot. Getting back on track after last week’s disapointment against Laois will be all that mattered to John… Read More An ugly win is a learning win
The Meath team to take on Kildare in tomorrow’s final round of the Allianz NFL shows four changes from that which lost out to Dublin last weekend. At least one of the alterations is enforced with Donal Keogan’s incredible 83-game not-out streak ended after the inspirational Rathkennny clubman was forced off with a hamstring injury… Read More Four changes for final League fling
Meath…0-12 Longford…0-04 These are strange times in the GAA. It’s March 21st and there are Provincial Championships under way. In Leinster at least. There’s absolutely no need for such to be the case, and these arrangements will end up creating more problems than it will solve. For now, it is what it is however. What… Read More Frayne leads from the front as Meath make winning start
Manager Ger O’Neill has announced his starting 15 and substitutes prior to his young charges taking on their near neighbours in the opening round of the Electric Ireland Leinster MHC at TEG Cusack Park, Mullingar tomorrow (Saturday).

Meath… 2-13 Westmeath… 1-06 Don’t let anybody tell you the day of the dual player is no more. Anybody who has been following the progress of Meath’s Aoife Minogue could disprove that theory in a heartbeat. The talented Dunderry lady has been a breakthrough player on the Meath Ladies football team in recent months but… Read More Minogue majors get Meath back on track
Meath Camogie manager Brendan Skehan has announced his lineup prior to his charges tackling neighbours Westmeath in Round 3 of the National League.
