Meath go through the gears in second half to see off dogged Laois
MEATH… 3-12 LAOIS… 0-10 The final score states there were 11 points between the sides at the end, but don’t fooled.

Naturally, being a disciple of a ‘townie’ outfit myself, the retort was…

Goals win the day as young Royals off to a fine start
MEATH… 4-10 WESTMEATH… 0-10 Sport – the emotional rollcoaster that makes life worth living. Until it virtually becomes the definition of life itself. Thus, the highs propel spirits to such levels that the moon could roll out the red carpet. Conversely however, the lows hammer to such an extent that an elevator would be required…
