Where does time go.
This date 32 years ago over 60,000 Meath and Dublin supporters were making their way to Croke Park for the second instalment of that 1991 Leinster SFC preliminary round classic. Our juniors captained by Dunderry’s Phil Fay defeated Dublin in the Leinster final replay and it was draw number 2 for our seniors on a 1-11 to 1-11 scoreline. The Meath team was Michael McQuillan, Robbie O'Malley, Mick Lyons, Terry Ferguson, Kevin Foley, Liam Harnan, Martin O'Connell, Liam Hayes, Sean Kelly (0-1), David Beggy (1-1), Colm O'Rourke (0-1), Tommy Dowd, Brian Stafford (0-5, all frees), PJ Gillic (0-2), Bernard Flynn (0-1). Subs: Colm Coyle for Harnan, John McDermott for Dowd. In extra time Terry O'Connor for Gillic and Alan Browne for McDermott. All that was on our minds that day leaving Croker was a ticket for the 3rd instalment in two weeks.
