Cian Ward: Shorter Meath career could've given me more Wolfe Tones joy

Ward is 35 now, eight years departed from the Meath squad

There’s a neat symmetry to the fact that Wolfe Tones struck 1-9 to win Sunday’s Meath SFC final, the same scoreline they tallied in their one and only previous triumph in 2006.

Cian Ward is one of the few playing links between those two teams, although he says it was an entirely different experience on Sunday.
