Dunboyne buoyant as Skryne fall

The way is clear for the quarter-finals of the Meath SFC following the seventh and last round of games in the group stages yesterday.

Holders Dunboyne scraped through, but 2004 winners Skryne missed out on the closing stages for the second year in a row.

Five points from Ger Robinson boosted Dunboyne to a 0-10 to 0-7 win over Trim at Dunsany. Nigel Crawford and David Gallagher showed up well at midfield for the defending champions while Trim, who had already qualified, lost former county full-back Darren Fay, early in the second half, to a mild concussion.
