Meath lament venue decision for clash with Louth

MEATH County Board secretary Cyril Creavin is disappointed the All-Ireland SFC qualifier between the Royals and Laois will be staged outside the province.

The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) yesterday announced the repeat of last year’s controversial Leinster SFC final will be hosted at Kingspan Breffni Park in Cavan on Saturday week, June 25.

With a throw-in time of 7pm, the game will be televised by RTÉ and is the second part of a double bill which includes the qualifier between Cavan and Longford at 5pm.
