Cian Ward is an Irish Gaelic footballer who currently plays for Meath Senior Football Championship team Wolfe Tones, and is a former Meath inter-county player. He is known for his free kick taking ability. In the 2009 All-Ireland, he was the third highest top scorer after Donegal's Michael Murphy and Kerry's Colm Cooper. Ward won his first and only Leinster title with Meath, and scored four points, in the controversial 2010 decider. [1] 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.[2] He is described as one of the modern greats of Gaelic football.
