NO HOLDIN' CAULFIELD BACK NOW FOR MEATH

Ciaran Caulfield is aiming to end a long year with more glory

- BY PAUL KEANE

MEATH defender Ciaran Caulfield is chasing down a dream All-Ireland double to cap a breakthrough year.

The Trim talent has already tucked one All-Ireland medal away having captained DCU to Sigerson Cup success in February.

Caulfield is Meath's vice-captain and is just two steps from heaven on that front now too after advancing to Sunday week's All-Ireland semi-final against Donegal.

It’s been a long year for the 21-year-old, who started all six of DCU's Sigerson Cup games, as well as Meath's 15 National League and Championship games to date.

"It’s been a long year so far alright but a great year," said wing-back Caulfield.

"To be honest, if you'd said at the start of the year that we'd be in an All-Ireland semi-final, I probably wouldn't really have believed it.
