IT’S 25 YEARS today since the gripping and epic four-game series between Meath and Dublin in the Leinster senior football championship finally concluded.

The clashes between the Dubs and the Royals gripped the country, before finally concluding on 6 July 1991.

Leinster SFC first round 1991

• 2 June – Dublin 1-12 Meath 1-12
• 9 June – Dublin 1-11 Meath 1-11 (after extra time)
• 23 June – Dublin 1-14 Meath 2-11 (after extra time)
• 6 July – Dublin 0-15 Meath 2-10

Dublin were on the cusp of victory as they possessed a 0-15 to 1-9 advantage with time running out before Kevin Foley proved the unlikely hero for Meath by bagging that crucial goal.

• ‘Everybody was shocked, Kevin f*****g Foley! Where did he come from?’

And then Meath won the resultant kickout before fashioning the move that culminated in David Beggy popping over the winning point.

Finally a winner had been produced after a series of games that won’t be forgotten.
