Some interesting facts from the day and 1989

It was the first time since 1962 that Dunboyne won the Junior football championship.

In 1989 Enda Mc Manus and Tony Byrne starred on the Meath minor team that won the All Ireland final that year. Both were subs on the team that won the Junior championship and were stars of the teams that subsequently won the Intermediate and Senior finals.

Barry Leonard was man of the match in the replayed final with two match winning saves.

In 1989 Dunboyne won five county championships including underage and the Intermediate hurling championship

Brendan Reilly would have been playing but he was a county man at that stage but had broken his shoulder in a Meath match versus Louth a few weeks previously.

Proceeding get underway at 9pm in the clubhouse bar.
