Earley to miss championship clash with Meath

KILDARE’S Dermot Earley will miss the Leinster championship opener against Meath on May 20.

The midfielder, and captain, broke a metatarsal in his right foot on Saturday — a recurrence of the injury which ruled him out of all bar one of the county’s NFL games.

“It’s hugely frustrating,” said Earley: . I’m back on crutches. I was just running when it broke. I don’t know when I’ll be back at this stage, I’ll just have to take it week by week.
