The Jacks are back – and Meath are as good as
MEATH… 3-24 TYRONE… 2-22 Barring an catastrophic development commensurate with Thierry Henry getting away with the most blatant hand ball in football history, Meath have one foot in the doorway to Div. 1 of the National Football League following this ballsy victory over Tyrone at Croke Park.

As you were once again
It’s a case of ‘if it aint broke leave it alone’ as Meath manager Robbie Brennan has kept faith with those who recorded a comprehensive victory over Kildare a fortnight ago ahead Saturday evening’s NFL Round 6 clash with Tyrone at Croke Park. That means that, having played a starring role when a late addition…

Working away in the shade
What is probably close to thirty years ago now, a word manufacturing machine being propelled by yours truly produced a piece headlined exactly as above.

Big Gally Jnr is on point to win a classic
MEATH… 2-17 GALWAY… 2-16 Inches. How often have you heard it quoted, here and in other places? Al Paccino’s Inches speech from Any Given Sunday.

Greville goes for a half dozen changes
Meath manager Johnny Greville and his fellow mentors have opted to make a half dozen changes to the side which disappointingly lost out to London last week ahead of tomorrow’s Christy Ring Cup second round encounter against Tyrone at Trim.
