Youthful Dunboyne fall short
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…1-11 Gaeil Colmcille…2-13 Despite a vastly improved second half showing, a youthful Dunboyne side had to give best to the Kells side who had a good quantity more of established names on show in this Feis Cup opening round encounter at Grangegodden on Saturday afternoon.

Morris makes his point to get Meath off the mark
Meath…2-06 Down…2-06 At the outset here, it will be admitted that yours truly wasn’t match fit for today’s outing to Pairc Tailteann.
