Number 2 pick: Club football team of the decade

Meath club football has been renowned for producing some outstanding players that would hold down a place on any team in the country.

Royal County Meath Yearbook has acknowledged these talented players every year when picking the Football Team of the Year. 

With no resumption of action on the horizon due to Covid-19 we will with your assistance pick our Club Football Team of the Decade taking one position at a time.

Players picked in that position since 2010

2010 Mark Jordan Skryne

2011 Davy Dalton Summerhill

2012 Stephen O’Toole O’Mahonys

2013 Stephen O’Brien Ratoath

2014 Conor Carton Donaghmore Ashbourne

2015 James Reilly O’Mahonys

2016 Shane Gallagher Simonstown

2017 Shane Gallagher Simonstown

2018 Seamus Lavin Dunboyne

2019 Shane Gallagher Simonstown

Amazingly Shane Gallagher has been picked in this position on three occasions. The Meath star faces tough competition from a host of very good defenders including county comrade Seamus Lavin. Davy Dalton was named at corner back in 2011 but in recent years has been deployed, to great effect, as a third midfielder for Summerhill.
