Do not adjust your sets – I agree with Mickey Harte!
It’s probably an understatement to point out that Meath’s defeat of Dublin in the 1975 NFL Final was a major turn up. With it being well before my time, I’m not sure what division of the league Meath were in at the time. What is of course known is the fact that Kevin Heffernan’s side…

Laois grab the momentum and the win as Meath crash to earth
Meath… 1-07 Laois… 1-12 There are some lessons in life one simply has to learn the hard way. In all the years I’ve been doing match reports – either on the club’s behalf or my own – have I noted down a score before a shot was taken. Don’t do it, it’s a total jinx.…
