Full back pick: Club hurling team of the decade

May 24, 2020

Shane Brennan, David Donoghue, Brian Perry and Enda Dixon

Meath club hurling has been renowned for producing some outstanding players that would hold down a place on any team in the country.

Royal County Meath Yearbook has acknowledged these talented players every year when picking the Hurling Team of the Year. 

With no resumption of action on the horizon due to Covid-19 we will with your assistance pick our Club Hurling Team of the Decade taking one position at a time.

It's probably one of the most difficult decisions to date. Nine outstanding full backs here.

Players picked in that position since 2010

2010 Paul Fagan Dunboyne

2011 Richie Hogan O’Mahonys 

2012 Padraig Donoghue Kiltale

2013 Enda Dixon Longwood

2014 David Donoghue Kiltale

2015 David Donoghue Kiltale

2016 Brian Perry Killyon

2017 Shane Brennan Kilmessan

2018 Philly Garvey Kiltale

2019 Ger Dwane Trim

David Donoghue is the only player to be picked in this position twice but the Kiltale star faces stiff opposition from a host of outstanding defenders including his brother Padraig, club mate Philly Garvey and Shane Brennan who recently complete a 4x4x48 challenge for charity.
