Multiple Dublin GAA All-Ireland winner joins leading Meath club
Multiple Dublin All-Ireland winner Eric Lowndes has moved to leading Meath side, St. Peter's Dunboyne. Lowndes, who went to school in Dunboyne, will join his brothers Stuart and Craig in the senior side at the club. Eric Lowndes is 31 now, having made his Dublin Championship debut in 2015 after a stellar underage career where he won four Leinster minor medals in hurling and football across two seasons as well as an All-Ireland under-21 football titles. Lowndes was a regular throughout Dublin's Leinster campaign in their 2017 run to the All-Ireland, but didn't start the All-Ireland semi-final or final. Stuart Lowndes played for both Dublin and Meath at senior level and his goal was vital as Dunboyne won the Senior Championship in 2018, their most recent victory in the competition. The brother's parents are both Meath people. Eric Lowndes has been training with the Dunboyne club recently and made his debut over the weekend in a Division 1 encounter with Wolfe Tones.
