The Double 30 years on: 'If we kept 15 on the field we would have tarred them'

'I am fully convinced we would have beaten them by as much as we beat Kerry in the Munster final'

The Cork team that beat Meath in the 1990 All-Ireland SFC final

Niall Cahalane reckons Cork would have beaten Meath by up to 15 points in the 1990 All-Ireland football final had they not been reduced to 14 men.

Cork completed the All-Ireland double on this day 30 years ago, the county’s footballers overcoming Meath to claim Sam Maguire despite being a man down for the entire second-half - full-forward Colm O’Neill was sent off for striking Mick Lyons approaching half-time.
