Deliverance for Dublin

Dublin 0-14 Meath 1-05

Meath were dogged and they managed to squeeze the deficit back to a single point with just 14 minutes to go but they were unable to hold onto the tiger’s coat-tails as Tipperary did with the Dubs last year before landing a killer blow in the dying moments.

Yesterday’s victory took them level with Kerry at the head of this particular roll of honour with 11 titles and, at this juncture, there would only appear to be one obvious contender to make it to the dozen mark in the near future.
