Meath GAA Competitions (Men): After meeting on Monday night last, the Meath County Board confirmed the fixture calendar for a condensed 2021 season. The Feis Cup will take centre stage once matches recommence for our senior team in June, with each team playing seven matches in the competition plus any potential knockout matches. The Senior Football Championship is pencilled in to start in mid-August.

For both Premier Football Championship teams, the championship will begin in early July and will consist of seven games for each team and also any knock out matches if they qualify.

There are no ‘A’ or ‘B’ league competitions going ahead this year.

Adult Ladies: The Adult Ladies teams also got back out on the pitch this week after restrictions were eased. Derek Byrne and Billy Quaine are over the team for the upcoming season. There is no Junior Ladies management team appointed as of yet.
