Excerpt: The Meath County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: ) or Meath GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Meath, as well as for Meath inter-county teams. Meath were latecomers to success in football, winning only their second Leinster Championship in 1939, by which time their greatest rivals, Dublin, had already won 21 Leinster titles. Their first All-Ireland Championship came courtesy of a Bill Halfpenny goal in 1949, when Dublin had already won 15 of their 22 titles. Meath's great team of 1948-54 came out worst in two thrilling All-Ireland finals - one of them replayed - another All-Ireland semi-final, and a National Football League final, all against their neighbours, Cavan, but garnered another All-Ireland with the help of a Tom Moriarty goal in 1954. Another neighbour, Louth, struck up a rivalry: in the six championships between 1948 and 1953 the sides met each year. The 1949 match went to three meetings, while those of 1950 and 1951 were replayed. Meath's team of the 1960s was characterised by a chronic inability to score until after half-time, but might have reached the 1964 All-Ireland final had a goal by Jack Quinn not been controversially disallowed in the semi-final. Meath were beaten in the 1966 All-Ireland final by a Galway team that include many legends such as Enda Colleran and the "Terrible Twins from Tuam", Seán Purcell and Frank Stockwell. After the 1966 final defeat, centre-back Bertie Cunningham declared his intentions, saying "next year, we will come back and win the All-Ireland". Sure enough, Terry Kearns secured the Sam Maguire Cup for Meath with a punched goal in the 1967 final to defeat Cork. Meath won the National Football League in 197.
