Greville steals stoppage-time win against below-par Dubs

ON a night you wouldn’t have put a dog out in never mind two makeshift inter-county football teams, nobody expected thrills in this rearranged O’Byrne Cup opener.

Dublin scored one point in the first half, Westmeath notched up two in second and that’s where we’d like to leave it. But in a game which was akin to a navy war of attrition, Paul Greville settled matters with the last kick of the game.

Greville’s point bridged a 36-minute gap to his team’s previous score and sent Westmeath into a quarter-final against DIT in the same venue, St Loman’s Park, next Sunday.
