The death occurred of five-time Navan O'Mahonys SFC winning goalkeeper Frank Carberry following a short illness in June. A talented underage player with De La Salle, Frank started his adult football playing days with Simonstown and lined out between the posts in the 1970 Junior B final which, ironically, they lost to Navan O'Mahonys.

He subsequently transferred to the Brews Hill club and won the first of his five senior medals in 1973. He added to his collection in 1979, '81, '85 and '87. His club performances caught the attention of county selectors and he was a member of the Meath squad that captured NFL honours in 1975. A popular taxi driver, 66-year-old Frank was also well-known in local political circles and served three stints as a Fianna Fail chairman of Navan Urban Council.
