Two changes for Clare clash
The Meath team to play Clare in tomorrow’s Allianz NFL encounter at Pairc Tailteann shows two changes from that which started in Cork last week. Two of those who impressed when introduced during the very impressive victory – Adam O’Neill and Diarmuid Moriarity – are rewarded with starting berths. MEATH: Harry Hogan; Adam O’Neill, Michael […]

Disappointing Kehoe conclusion in lunchtime shoot out
Meath… 0-18 Kildare… 2-24 Needing to win big in this lunchtime encounter at Dunganny, the last thing Meath needed was David O’Flaherty rifling to their net inside the first minute. Podge O’Hanrahan responded with two points for Meath, but unfortunately that was as good as it got for them. With James Burke in awesome form […]

Meath squadron for lunchtime shootout
Meath’s hurlers face an uphill task if they are to advance to the Final of the restructured Kehoe Cup. With the top side in the group being declared the winner of the trophy, the Royals – currently sitting third – have to win, and win big, against their visitors to Dunganny at lunchtime tomorrow (1p.m.) […]

Meath test strength in depth with experimental line up
Meath manager Seoirse Bulfin is clearly intent on testing the strength in depth available to him having made wholesale changes for tomorrow’s Kehoe Cup encounter against Carlow. The Royals go into the fixture unbeaten by virtue of victories over Wicklow and Down. The competition format this year decrees that whoever finishes top of the standings […]

Bertie Cunningham – R.I.P.
Just weeks after his team Captain Peter Darby, Bertie Cunningham has sadly become the latest one of Meath’s 1967 All Ireland heroes to be called ashore to the great stadium above. He was 81. Right from the off here it will be admitted that I am not in the best position to put proper tribute […]

Battling Meath bag stalemate but no Final berth
Meath…1-07 Longford…0-10 A brace of late points from Trim’s Aaron Lynch earned Meath a deserved share of the spoils in this entertaining O’Byrne Cup encounter played in horrendous wind and rain at Donaghmore/Ashbourne. Regrettably, it wasn’t enough to take Colm O’Rourke’s team through to the final of the pre-season competition. By virtue of the fact […]

Podge points a dozen to secure Seoirse’s maiden win
Meath…0-18 Wicklow…1-11 Padraig O’Hanrahan replaced Nicky Potterton before the start of this Kehoe Cup opening round encounter and accounted for two thirds of Meath’s scores as Seoirse Bulfin’s side came away from Bray Emmets with an encouraging win. This corner has seen other media outlets labour on the fact that the majority of the Ratoath […]

Strong second half gives new look Royals encouraging start
Meath… 0-16 Carlow… 1-09 Meath got their 2023 football season off to a winning start at a windy and wet Netwatch Cullen Park tonight. New manager Colm O’Rourke gave debuts to seven newcomers for his first match in charge. And in truth, it took the new Royal combination quite a while to settle. Mostly because […]

Tullamore Trimmed as Canty’s crew head the Wicklow way
Trim…1-21 Tullamore…1-08 If you were simply talking in terms of a points tally, Tullamore’s Shane Dooley, with 1-8, outscored James Murray of Trim (0-10) yet still ended up on the beaten team. That would only reveal a fraction of the detail here. And not just pertaining to today’s Leinster Club IHC semi final at Pairc […]
