Kinsella kills off the contest with stellar first half

Meath… 2-11

Carlow… 0-04

Dunshaughlin’s Ruairi Kinsella ended this Leinster U-20 FC Round 2 encounter in Ashbourne as a contest well before half time with a tremendous personal haul of 2-2.

Meath were 1-06 to 0-01 up after about 15 minutes and when Kinsella took advantage of a wayward kick out to bag his second ‘major’ it left the home side clear by 2-07 to 0-04 at the break, with Shaun Leonard, Sean Emmanuel and Eoghan Frayne also on target.

Carlow didn’t score in the second half and for a long time it appeared it was going to be a similar scenario for the home side until a brace of scores apiece from Frayne and Dunboyne’s Jack Kinlough closed out the evening’s work.
