Boylan Talks Sport Meath Club Footballers Team Of The Year 2025

Seeing the lads from We Are Meath podcast (Davy Rispin and Mickey Brennan) release the nominations for the CICO Sports We Are Meath Club All Stars earlier this week gave yours truly the necessary nudge to kick on with an idea which has been circulating in the upstairs brainstorm for a few weeks now.

It’s nothing new, something I’ve done several times over  the years, for either the Hoganstand Meath page or the Meath GAA Yearbook. It’s just my opinion, done for a bit of craic and to generate a bit of interest and debate.

A Meath Club Footballers Team Of The Year. The only difference between my selection and that of the lads’ is that the only selection criteria I apply is to pick a team of players who were NOT part of the Meath senior panel for the championship.

So, without further ado, here is the amalgam that was finally settled upon:

SEAN MUDDIMAN (Summerhill)

MARK DEMPSEY    (Kilbride)

BEN WYER               (Ratoath)

DARRAGH O’REILLY (Clann Na nGael)

ADAM KEALY (Dunshaughlin)

ROSS RYAN       (Summerhill)

BEN MORAN     (Summerhill)

ADAM MCDONNELL (Summerhill)

RIAN MCCONNELL (Castletown)

CONOR O’BRIEN                (St Vincent’s)

NIALL  FINNERTY   (Skryne)

OISIN MARTIN            (Wolfe Tones)

CONOR FRAYNE (Summerhill)

CONOR MCWEENEY (Kilbride)

CIAN ROGERS         (Ratoath)

It’s important to state that the final lineup  was arrived at after about 10 drafts and copious use of the backspace button. And that one could easily go again in the morning and come with a completely different amalgam of wholly deserving players.

Most importantly, it’s only a bit of fun.

Honourable Mentions:

Dominic Yorke (Meath Hill), Finn White (Kilbride), Gearoid O’Malley (St Michael’s), Sean Penny (Wolfe Tones), Josh Harford (Kilbride), Niall Smullen (Ballinabrackey), John O’Regan (Skryne), Jamie O’Shea (Summerhill), Rian Stafford (Kilmainhamwood), Adam Flanagan (Summerhill), Caolan Ward (Wolfe Tones), Rian Early (Gaeil Colmcille), Tadhg Martyn (Slane),Davy O’Leary (Kilbride) Ben Corkery (Clann Na nGael), Darren Finney (Castletown)

Yes, you might notice there’s exactly 15 there too and there would have been no problem coming up with at least the same again once more.

But Finally…
