Experience and instinct win the day for dogged Meath
Meath…2-08 Donegal…1-09 Goals from Kelsey Nesbitt and Niamh O’Sullivan ultimately won the day as Meath continued their amazing success story by adding the Lidl Ladies NFL Div. 1 trophy to their ever expanding resume of success following this pulsating encounter in Croke Park.

Rousing resumption sends Royals to another Final
Meath…2-12 Mayo…1-09 A blitzkrieg at the start of the second half which saw Meath register 2-5 without riposte set them on their way to another Final date in Croke Park.

Winter wonderland rolls on
Dunboyne…3-16 Milltown (Westmeath)…1-07 Possibly the only down side for teams who won county championships in 2020 was that they were denied – wrongly in my view – the opportunity to represent their county at Provincial level thereafter. Thus, having earned the right to do so again, St Peter’s, Dunboyne laid down a marker here that…
