Peter Darby

Darby enjoyed a hugely successful club career as a dual player with Trim. In 1962 he captained the team from full-back to their only Keegan Cup triumph, while he also won five Meath SHC titles. After a period with the Meath minor team, Darby made his senior team debut as a 19-year-old against Dublin in 1958. He was one of the key figures on the team that made a breakthrough and won the Leinster Championship in 1964. Darby was at left corner-back for the All-Ireland final defeat by Galway. He was named captain of the team the following year and was again at left corner-back when Meath beat Cork in the 1967 All-Ireland final. ==Post playing career==
