Flying first half sets visitors on the road to victory
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…2-18 Na Fianna…0-10 First half goals from Fergal Watters and Jason Gleeson set Dunboyne on their way in Baconstown as they led by 2-10 to 0-04 at the break on Saturday evening before going on to record their second victory of the season in the race for the Mooney Cup.

Cummins called to the bench for judgement day
Na Fianna’s Conor Cummins replaces Philip O’Brien as substitute goalkeeper in the only change to the matchday panel from that which rescued a dramatic draw against Derry a week ago ahead of tomorrow’s crunch encounter against Donegal in the final round of regulation fixtures in the Christy Ring Cup at O’Donnell Park in Letterkenny.

Return of county men fails to inspire
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…0-15 Summerhill…1-24 The return of county U-20s Eoin McCrudden, Charlie Gallagher and John Harkin failed to provide the expected spark as Dunboyne fell to a second defeat in the FL Div. 1 on Saturday evening last away to the county champions.

On the road again as we get back on the horse

Too much money at stake to be penny pinching
Where do you stand in relation to the Play Offs in English league football?

Same force head for the Faithful County
Having hit a dozen goals in their last two outings, Meath’s Minor footballers face into their third consecutive game on the road with an unchanged ensemble from that which defeated Hugh Kenny’s Wicklow in Aughrim seven days ago. Hence Syddan’s Tomas Dillon retains his place at left corner forward having started as a late replacement…

Job done, move on, start building
MEATH… 6-22 LAOIS… 0-07 In such no-win situations, there’s only one thing a body can do – win. Tick the box and move on. If you do manage to win, you are only doing as would have been expected and if you don’t well, let’s not go there. So, credit to them, when Trevor Giles’s…

A time of opportunity rather than a problem
Transition. Movement. Change. Difference. Essentially, they all describe the same thing. But can have seismically different meanings for different people. Indeed, they can have vastly fluctuating connotations for the same people in differing circumstances. Even for yours truly. For instance, the notion of doing Transition Year after completing the Junior Cert. appeared to be a…

As you were for Minors
Meath Minor football manager Trevor Giles has kept the faith with those who lost out to Louth by the narrowest of margins and played amid horrendous conditions 12 days ago ahead of tonight’s Round 2 outing against Kildare at Fr McManus Park, the home of Skryne GFC. There are, however, a number of alterations to…
