Thousands of fans turned out at Navan’s Fair Green on Monday to welcome home the All-Ireland Senior women’s football champions.
The event was organised by Meath County Council and the diehard supporters were gathering long before the scheduled 3pm arrival of the players and coaching staff.
Council chairman Nick Killian told the team: “You are wonderful ambassadors for Meath you have done yourself, your family and the county proud.”
