Garrigan reflects on his role in Meath's fairytale

Paul Garrigan drafted 38 personalised letters of appreciation for every player in the Meath squad. Garrigans was the coach of Meaths, who won the TG4 All-Ireland senior football final this year. He played football in Meats before studying hotel and catering management in Wicklow. After that he moved to Baltinglass and took over the senior men's team. Fearghal Harney, the current Meacham PRO, was looking for a management team to take over a team that had potential. Garrigus, Eamonn and Michelle Grimes went for it. Meather won their first All Ireland title in over 30 years.

Garrigan is proud of his team Meath's success. Meith were beaten in the semi-final of the TG4 All-Ireland by Tipperary in their first year. Shane Wall and Mark Brennan came in to add more backroom quality. Niamh O'Sullivan, Emma Troy and Eugene Ivers were added to the playing squad. They won Division 3 and narrowly lost the final to Tipp. Garrigan was almost gone at that stage. He likes to see the players' body language. The team won the league before Covid was shut down. It was Garrigans' latest bid to inspire the team to glory.
