The Meath senior footballers will take on Galway in a pre-championship warm-up match in Ratoath on Sunday 11th May as part of the local club’s 10th anniversary celebrations of the opening of Seán Eiffe Park.

Mick O’Dowd and Alan Mulholland will use this game to fine tune preparations for their championship opening games versus Carlow and against London respectively. This event will also afford Meath supporters the opportunity to see how the Meath Ladies and Junior footballers are shaping up.

The inter-county triple header on Sunday will bring the curtain down on a whole weekend of family events and club celebrations in Ratoath. CLG Rath Tó extend a warm welcome to all supporters both locally and beyond to join the special weekend.

Seán Eiffe Park is easily accessible from both the M2 and M3 which are only 10 minute drives either side of it from the Ashbourne and Dunshaughlin exits respectively. 20 minutes will bring Galway patrons to the venue from the Maynooth or Leixlip West exits on the M4.

The Meath -Tyrone ladies senior football championship takes place at 11.45am, with the Meath-Galway game at 2pm and a Mens Junior football challenge with Meath v Louth at 3.30pm.
