ANYBODY with even a passing interest in Gaelic games would find it amusing to hear Meath talk about their ‘hopes’ of beating Carlow in tomorrow’s opening round of the GAA Leinster football championship in Croke Park were they unaware of the fall-out from their stormy League meeting with Dublin in Parnell Park almost a month ago.

They’re in the All Ireland senior hurling final and some of them are still angry, or at least they’re not happy – with media pundits, the Cork hurlers and with their local media’s alleged neglect of matters GAA.
