Take your points and the goals won’t matter
MEATH…2-12 KERRY…3-05 The equation was simple for the Meath camogie team at Rathmolyon on Saturday afternoon, and in the end so was the solution. Nothing other than a win would suffice for Gary Cole and Tommy Moloney’s team if last year’s run deep into the All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Championship is to be repeated. And,…

Accurate Aoife leaves glass half full for resolute Royals
Meath…2-06 Derry…1-09 Aoife Minogue cut a dejected figure as the full time whistle sounded in this thrilling All Ireland Intermediate Camogie Final at Croke Park. But she was being hard on herself by doing so. Her point attempt in the last minute – from a free on the sideline on the Hogan Stand side of…

Aoife’s busy summer to roll on as Meath stun Rebels
Meath…3-11 Cork…1-11 It was difficult not to feel the camogie players of Antrim and Tipperary missed a trick by rowing back on stated protest plans prior to Saturday’s All Ireland SCC quarter final at Croke Park. As Ursula Jacob said on The Saturday Game Live That was the day to go all out. In the…

Hotshot Horgan leaves Meath in Heartbreak Hotel
Meath…0-13 Kerry…0-14 The half time decision of the Kerry mentors to transfer free taking duties to centre forward Jackie Horgan was ultimately their salvation and Meath’s undoing in this Very Ireland NCL Div. 2A Final at Croke Park. To add insult to injury, thanks to the unjust system which appears to prevail in both Camogie…

Camogs head for Croker
Meath…1-09 Derry…0-10 For as long as this hack has been on the GAA ‘circuit’, Derry teams have had something of an Indian sign over Meath. The All Ireland SFC semi final of 1987 was before my time and throughout Sean Boylan’s long tenure with the county team I am fairly certain we never overcame the…

Meath make it a fruitless short trip for Cavan
Meath…0-11 Cavan…1-07 While the county’s lady footballers came up short in Ballinlough against Waterford yesterday, 24 hours earlier, Brendan Skehan’s county Camogie team had better luck over the road in Moylagh when they edged out Cavan in their National League Div. 2B encounter. Meath face Derry in their final regulation game at Donaghmore/Ashbourne in what…

Minogue majors get Meath back on track
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…
