Royal County face Tyrone at beginning of an NFL Division One campaign in Newtownstewart
They may have accumulated a significant number of honours in recent years, but there is still one item that Monica McGuirk and theA three-time TG4 All Star winner, the Duleek/Bellewstown goalkeeper was between the sticks when the Royal County secured back-to-back TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship titles in 2021 and 2022. She also includes a TG4 All-Ireland intermediate championship among her list of honours, as well as Lidl National Football League triumphs in Divisions 1, 2 and 3.
Maurice Deegan: First outing for rules will test impact on football but they’re already improving disciplinary cultureWhen Meath faced Dublin in last year’s Leinster final at Croke Park, McGuirk lined out in GAA HQ for the 11th time in her career. Considering it wasn’t until the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate championship decider of 2018 that she had her first experience of playing in the Jones’ Road venue, this is a remarkable statistic for the dependable netminder.
“That was our ambition for the start of the championship season in 2018. Obviously it didn’t go the way we wanted it to, but it’s still one of the best days of my career, because it was the first time I got to play in Croke Park. It’s a day I’ll obviously never forget for various reasons, but that was a big step. It put us on the path to what came after that.
Tomorrow is exactly five years on from this fixture and now Meath are once again facing the Red Hand at the beginning of an NFL campaign, albeit this time their meeting is in Division 1 at Newtownstewart . “Obviously took the break then for the month and was only back there last Tuesday week. We’re all systems go now for when we play Tyrone in the first round.
