    Corkery delivers on the double as Meath collect

    Meath… 2-10 Westmeath… 0-10 A goal in each half from Clann Na nGaeil’s Ben Corkery made the difference as Meath got their Leinster MFC campaign off to a winning start in Kinnegad tonight. It was the home side, however, who settled better, pointing within seconds of the throw in. In what was a forerunner for…

    Frayne leads from the front as Meath make winning start
