Meath GAA

Meath's thrilling return to silverware has vindicated Robbie Brennan's rebuilding project, with the Royals clinching their first league title since 2007 after a blistering second-half display against Cork at Croke Park, downing the Rebels 1-22 to 2-17 to claim the Division 2 crown. The victory has reignited belief among the Meath faithful and impressed observers like Peter Canavan, who rates the Royals as capable of beating anyone on their day, though championship football has already delivered a sobering reality with Westmeath's shock 4-18 to 0-25 victory in the opening round of Leinster. Manager Brennan's delight extends beyond the trophy itself, relishing the reconnection between his team and supporters who finally have something worth watching again. The real test now awaits in the Leinster Championship as Meath look to prove their league form translates to championship credentials.
