Louth ready for Royal showdown, says Lennon

SHANE LENNON is confident Louth can cope with the pressures of their first appearance in a Leinster SFC final in half a century next month.

The Wee County booked their place in the provincial showpiece by defeating Westmeath on Sunday and now face a rampant Meath, who drilled five goals past Dublin keeper Stephen Cluxton at the weekend.

But full-forward Lennon, who will once again play with a cast on his injured right hand, has no worries about the mindset of his team on such a momentous occasion.
