Westmeath steamrolled as Meath banish away day blues

The famine is over, according to Seamus McEnaney, though whether Meath can maintain their fine Division 2 form to achieve the promotion they crave remains to be seen.

The Royal County steamrolled hapless Westmeath in Mullingar to preserve their perfect record in the league and, in doing so, scratched an itch that had been bothering them for some time. It was three years in fact since they last won an away game in the league, beating Wexford at Wexford Park in March of 2009.

Experienced attacker Stephen Bray did most to advance Meath’s cause with a fine display and five points while Graham Reilly’s hard running from centre-forward and three points from play were equally impressive.
