O’Dowd’s Royals put on command performance

Wicklow 2-5 Meath 4-11

A dreary afternoon under Baltinglass Hill was brightened by the restless work-rate of the visitors as they hunted and shielded in packs.

They had this game wrapped up and had stuck a bow on it by the 45th minute when the promising Padraig McKeever goaled after Meath had led by nine points, 2-6 to 0-3, at the break.
