Summerhill in knockout stages

There are nine teams left in the race for the Meath SFC following the concluding round of group games over the weekend when holders Summerhill recovered from two defeats and a draw to advance to the knockout stages.

The champions defeated Moynalvey 1-17 to 0-12 at Dunsany on Saturday evening, having led 1-11 to 0-7 at the break. Brian Ennis had their goal in the first half before Moynalvey had county senior defender Padraic Harnan sent off on receipt of a second yellow card in the third quarter.

Na Fianna, first-time finalists last year, are through to the quarter-finals following a 1-10 to 1-9 victory over 2013 semi-finalists Rathkenny, who bow out of contention.
