Young Royals shake off Louth in march to final

MEATH reversed a first-round result to advance to the Leinster MFC final at the expense of Louth at Navan’s Páirc Tailteann last evening.

The home side started the brighter with points from Cillian O’Sullivan and Brian McMahon giving them an early advantage. Ciaran Byrne got Louth on the board after five minutes and was their most influential forward.

O’Sullivan filled a similar role for Meath, the wing-forward clipping over three points from play in the first half.
