MEATH…4-04
TYRONE…0-02
The above is one of the cases that absolutely merits appendage to the headline in question. For the reality is that were it not for Meath’s four goals – a brace apiece from Kerrie Cole and the introduced Michelle Collins – were the crucial interventions as the 2021 Div. 1 champions got their season off to a flying start in Newtownstewart.
Corner forward Cole, the daughter of former Meath hurler and current Ratoath manager Mick – delivered her double in the first half. Enabling the visitors to clock a 2-04 to 0-02 lead before the Powerade and Jaffa Cakes.
Two further ‘Majors’ from the introduced Collins were actually the only scores of the second half. But how crucial they could turn out to be when taken in the context of Armagh’s usurpation of Kerry in Tralee.
SCORERS – K. Cole & M. Collins (2-0 each), M. Farrelly (0-3), C. Smyth (0-1).
MEATH – R. Murray; A. Sheridan, S. Wall, N. Troy; N. Gallogly, M. K. Lynch, C. Millington; A. Cleary, E. Moyles; M. Thynne, O. Sheehy, C. Smyth; M. Byrne, M. Farrelly, K. Cole.
SUBS – M. Collins for Cole, K. Newe for Byrne, N. McEntee for Millington.
