Almost as you were for Meath
Meath have made only minimal alterations to their side ahead of this (Tuesday) evening’s Leinster U-20 FC semi final against Kildare at Donaghmore/Asbourne. The only ‘Change’ to the side which defeated Wexford a week ago sees Kilbride’s Finn White switch from centre back out to the left wing with Fiach Hartigan (Dunshauglin) going in the…

A game for the ages but ‘only’ an ordinary win
Ireland… 13 South Africa… 8 One of the strange curiosities of the four match saga between Meath and Dublin in the Leinster SFC of 1991 was, after all the hype and coverage had subsided, it was only a first round encounter.

But they can also be useful indicators of where a team’s form is at. Thus, just as the Royal County senior footballers franked their unbeaten start to the season with last week’s terrific…

Podge O’Hanrahan responded with two points for Meath, but unfortunately that was as good as it got for them. With James Burke in awesome form…

Podge points a dozen to secure Seoirse’s maiden win
Meath…0-18 Wicklow…1-11 Padraig O’Hanrahan replaced Nicky Potterton before the start of this Kehoe Cup opening round encounter and accounted for two thirds of Meath’s scores as Seoirse Bulfin’s side came away from Bray Emmets with an encouraging win. This corner has seen other media outlets labour on the fact that the majority of the Ratoath…
