Terry Kearns (1945 – 15 October 2020) was an Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he played with St Vincent's and was an All-Ireland Championship winner with the Meath county team.[1][2]

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

A member of the St Vincent's club in Ardcath, County Meath, Kearns was full-back with the Meath minor football team for three successive seasons from 1961 until 1963.[3] He was centre-back on the county's junior team that won the Leinster Junior Championship in 1964, before joining the under-21 team the following year. Kearns first played for the Meath senior team in a challenge game in December 1964; however, it would be 1967 before he became a regular member of the team. That year he claimed his first Leinster Senior Championship medal before winning an All-Ireland Championship medal at midfield after a 1-9 to 0-9 defeat of Cork in the final.[4] Kearns won a second Leinster Senior Championship medal in 1970; however, Meath were subsequently beaten by Kerry in the All-Ireland final.
