Shane Duffy (Gaelic footballer)

Shane Duffy is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Ratoath club and previously played at senior level for the Monaghan county team for over a decade. He was a very important figure in Magheracloone Mitchells' capture of the Monaghan Senior Football Championship in 2004, in Ratoath's capture of the Meath and Leinster Intermediate Championship titles in 2015, and in Monaghan's 2005 National Football League Division 2 title. As well as winning a senior title in his native Monaghan he has claimed three senior titles in his adopted Meath, making him the only person with senior championship medals in both counties. An experienced goalkeeper with a trademark long kick, he held off competition from players such as Glen Murphy and won the 2011 All-Ireland Kick Fada Championship with a 64-metre kick into a strong headwind.
