NEW MEATH SENIOR football manager Andy McEntee is already looking ahead to the 2017 season with the Royals.
But last night he signed off on a successful note in Dublin club football with the reigning All-Ireland club champions.
McEntee guided Ballyboden St-Enda’s to the Dublin and Leinster senior football titles in 2015 before they cruised to All-Ireland glory in style on St Patrick’s Day.

The championship this year in Dublin didn’t pan out as they would have liked with a second round exit against Kilmacud Crokes in October.
But a 2-18 to 3-14 win in last night’s Dublin Division 1 football league final against St Judes at Parnell Park, does provide some consolation and Christmas cheer as they conclude 2016 on a winning note.
And what a great way for Andy McEntee to finish his last game in charge. Best of luck Andy from all here at the club.
The game was a thrilling contest with the teams level at 1-15 to 2-12 at the end of normal time before Ballyboden prevailed by a point despite conceding a last-gasp goal from a St Judes penalty at the close of extra-time.
Sam Molony hit a brace of goals for the winners with the first one an emphatic and memorable strike.

His second was a bit more fortunate but it was judged that the ball had just squeezed over the line.
Conal Keaney kicked 0-8 for Ballyboden St-Enda’s while Kevin McManamon struck 0-4 for St Judes.
