Meath Hurling Board Chairman Martin O'Halloran makes a presentation to Mickey Burke before the start of the Kehoe Cup game against Down while County Board Chairman Jason Plunkett and selector John Andrews look on at Longwood
Mickey Burke was the man of the moment after making his 200th senior appearance in a Meath shirt in his home ground of Longwood yesterday.
The 38-year-old dual star was given a guard of honour to mark the occasion, but Down spoiled the party somewhat with a 2-20 to 1-16 victory in the opening round of the Kehoe Cup.
Afterwards, Burke was presented with Longwood and Meath jerseys bearing the number 200 while, in a lovely gesture, visiting manager Ronan Sheehan presented him with a Down jersey.
