Controversy not a distraction

Meath 4-18 DCU 3-06

Just a week after beating All-Ireland champions Dublin, the 2010 and 2012 champions slumped to a 15-point mauling in Navan.

Hosts Meath were fluid and sharp throughout and a young team was brilliantly led by wing-forward Cillian O’Sullivan who shot 2-2 and set up several more important scores. But Meath’s progression to next weekend’s final against Kildare in Newbridge was aided in no small way by DCU’s lacklustre performance.
