Review: Senior Football Championship
December 16, 2024
Celebration time for Conor Gray, Mathew Costello and Ruairi Kinsella after their Meath SFC final win over Wolfe Tones at Pairc Tailteann
Dunshaughlin ended a 22 year wait for a Keegan Cup success with a narrow win over Wolfe Tones at a stormy Páirc Tailteann. A late Mathew Costello goal was crucial as Richie Kealy’s men claimed their first Meath Senior Football Championship title since 2002. The Black and Ambers went through the entire campaign unbeaten. They defeated last years winners Summerhill in the group stages, 2023 champions Ratoath in the quarter final and 2021 winners Wolfe Tones in the decider.
Curraha will ply their trade in the Intermediate ranks for 2025. The 2017 Mattie McDonnell Cup winners lost their semi final and final after extra time and penalties.
A special thanks to the club PRO's for suppling us with match reports throughout the year.
