Meath All-Ireland Senior Football Champions 1949

£120.00

This Plaque is individually made by Crafts men for the All-Ireland Senior Football Champions of 1949 – Meath, with a Hand Painted crest in cold cast Bronze and a Painting of the Team by Brian O’Flaherty.

As the dust settled over Croke Park on September the 25th 1949, celebrations were taking place throughout the Royal County. Meath had defeated the “Legendary” Cavan team to win their first All-Ireland Senior Football title. A record attendance of 79,460 watched a trilling game which Meath dominated from the full back line right up to number fifteen. Thus the seeds were sown for the great footballing exploits of future years by the Royal County.
