Meath GAA in mourning after death of legendary All-Ireland winning captain

Meath's 1967 All-Ireland winning captain Peter Darby has passed away.

The Trim clubman became just the third Meath skipper to lift the Sam Maguire Cup after Brian Smyth (1949) and Peter McDermott (1954) and lined out at corner-back on the team that beat Cork by 1-9 to 0-9 in the All-Ireland final 55 years ago.

Mr Darby was appointed captain of the team for 1967 after no player from Gaeil Colmcille, the 1966 county champions, earned a starting spot.
