Meath manager Sean Boylan joined in the action last night as Dublin beat All-Ireland champions Meath, 3-13 to 4-2, in a light-hearted annual GOAL challenge at Navan.

A crowd of around 7,000 turned up to see the newly-crowned All-Ireland champions parade the Sam Maguire. All-Ireland referee Mick Curley, bound for Australia this weekend with the Irish International Rules squad, was also in action as Meath proved slow starters and only registered a Tommy Dowd point in the first half.
