The 2024 Meath GAA Annual Awards winners were announced last night.

The winners will receive their awards at a Presentation Dinner on Friday December 6 in the Castle Arch Hotel, Trim. 

Footballer of the Year – Mathew Costello (Dunshaughlin)

Mathew enjoyed a fine season for Meath as the side retained their place in Division 2 of the Allianz Football League, with the highlight coming in the game against Louth in Páirc Tailteann when he scored one of the best goals seen at the Brews Hill venue, but it was during the Club Championship where his talent really shone the brightest.

After helping Dunshaughlin claim the Division 1B title upon his return from county duties, Mathew then took a central role as Dunshaughlin claimed a first Keegan Cup title since 2002.  Across their six game he registered 3-14 with 3-06 of that total coming from play.  His average score per game was 3.8 points, with an average of 2.5 points per game coming from play. In addition to this he laid on a large number of scores for his fellow attackers but his finest moment came in the final when after giving the ball away for a late Wolfe Tones goal, he kicked a couple of points to bring Dunshaughlin back into the game before popping up with the match winning goal.
