EMOTIONAL Eamonn Murray admitted it may be the end of an era for back to back All-Ireland Ladies Football champs Meath with star players leaving for Australia.
Vikki Wall and Orlaith Lally are heading to the AFLW after yesterday's 3-10 to 1-7 final victory over Kerry, while Emma Troy is going travelling.

"But they're a very special bunch - and it takes a very special bunch to go two in a row."
