Cian Ward is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Meath Senior Football Championship team Wolfe Tones and, formerly, for the Meath county team. He is noted for his ability at taking frees.

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Wolfe Tones went from the Meath Junior Football Championship to Meath Senior Football Championship winners in the space of four seasons in the early 21st-century, featuring Ward, whose emergence as one of Meath's "most exciting talents" coincided with this run, while 1996 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship-winning captain Tommy Dowd also joined the club around this time.[2]

Inter-county

[edit | edit source]

In the 2009 All-Ireland SFC, he was the third highest top scorer after Donegal's Michael Murphy and Kerry's Colm Cooper. Ward won his only Leinster SFC title with Meath, and scored four points, in the controversial 2010 decider.[3] In 2011, Ward scored 4 goals and 3 points against Louth in front of a crowd 18,243 at Kingspan Breffni Park, to knock Louth out of the Championship. In 2013, Meath manager Mick O'Dowd dropped a number of players, including Ward, from the Meath panel.[4]
