Meehan was the attacking star as St Jarlath’s of Tuam won the Hogan Cup. The campaign was best remembered for his duel with Kerry’s Declan O’Sullivan in an epic semi-final that finished 0-20 apiece after extra time in the Gaelic Grounds.
Meehan scored 1-7 as St Jarlath’s won the replay, and then hit another 1-6 against St Michael’s in the final.
