Wonder boost for Meath as Wall answers county’s call
It is said that whoever pulls the levers far away never closes one door without opening another.

Masterful Monica to lead from the back
The best goalkeeper in Ladies Football for the past decade, Monica McGuirk, is wholly deserving of the latest honour bestowed upon her after it was announced that the vastly experienced netminder had been appointed Royal County captain by new Meath manager Shane McCormack.

Time to invoke the siege mentality
Meath… 0-12 Donegal… 1-10 Why or how Milwall ever came up with their infamous “We are Milwall, nobody likes us, we don’t care” chant is beyond me. It’s not as if they were ever any good. Affixing the same mantra to Meath football teams is far easier to understand. Reason being none other than the…

Return of three jewels boost hopes of holding onto the crown
Meath… 0-15 Laois… 0-05 Take Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland out of the Manchester City team, they don’t win their fifth Premier League title in six years.

The current All Ireland champions will be thankful that in the Ladies’ game a…

Sport doesn’t need the 25th to bring gifts
It’s 11.41pm on Christmas Eve and here I am starting a post. Christmas means different things for different people. For some, cough, it can be an endurance test. That said, there are silver linings to it, as were alluded to here earlier in the week. An abundance of horse racing, soccer, darts and, eh, yeah,…
