MEATH FLYER Jordan Morris grew up in Kingscourt, following Cavan.

His father is a former Cavan minor and Under-21 player, and he went to primary school in the county as well.

Family circumstances brought him to Nobber in Meath, the club he won an Intermediate Championship with, back in 2019.

As a teenager Morris was in Meath development squads, but club-wise the All Star nominee moved back to Kingscourt at the start of the 2022 season.

Kingscourt were hammered in the county final by Gowna in 2023 but, a week and a half ago, former Louth manager and player Colin Kelly guided them to a county decider victory over the same opposition with Morris hitting 0-9 to secure a first senior title in a decade.

"I grew up in a housing estate there in Kingscourt," said Morris (24). "I lived there until I was 10 or 11.

"I obviously went to primary school there. I would have played a lot of soccer and a few different sports with a few different boys there on the team. I would have known them all even from just being around town.
