Ominous signs as Summerhill eye repeat

Meath SFC: Reigning Meath champions Summerhill revived their prospects of back-to-back SFC titles following a comprehensive 2-12 to 0-9 win over Rathkenny at Walterstown yesterday.

The Hill lost their opening two matches and, with county player Conor Gillespie back from injury, they will be hoping to repeat last year’s feat when they also lost their opening two rounds but went on a championship-winning run.

Meath boss Mick O’Dowd was in attendance to check on the fitness of Gillespie and his county midfield partner Brian Meade, who lined out in attack for Rathkenny.
