Enda McManus picked up two trophies after yesterday's Meath senior football championship final at Pairc Tailteann, Navan. He received the Keegan Cup as Dunboyne took the title for the first time and gained the man-of-the-match award following a disappointing encounter before 8,000.

Oldcastle, also bidding for a first triumph, had the better of the first half and, with Ronan Farrelly sending over three points, they led by 0-5 to 0-2 at the break. However, with the wind freshening and to their advantage, Dunboyne dominated the second period.
