Revenge is not our motivation, says Lennon

LAST year’s Leinster final has been consigned to the past for Louth as they count down to Saturday’s rematch with neighbours Meath, insists forward Shane Lennon. However, the Kilkerley Emmets man believes the Royals have just as much motivation as his team to win in Breffni Park after last July’s debacle in Croke Park.

According to Lennon, Meath will want to answer critics within their own county who questioned the validity of their victory last year.

“It’s going to be a big thing for them too,” he maintained. “A lot of people probably doubted them in their county after last year so they’ll be out to prove a point that they were deserving champions.
