Clubs let off hook after penalty misses

Two Meath forwards failed to convert penalties in the third round of the county SFC at the weekend but both of their sides gained victories to extend 100% winning records.

Joe Sheridan returned to club action with Seneschalstown and drove a spot-kick outside the right upright in the second half of the clash with Oldcastle at Kilmainham on Saturday evening. However, the 2009 champions recovered to record a 0-11 to 0-7 success.

The Sheridan brothers shared five points, with Joe putting over two and Brian hitting three, as a second win from as many outings was achieved. Former Meath manager Colm Coyle’s Oldcastle are well out of the hunt after three defeats.
