Jack Hannigan’s heroics see Meath clear first hurdle

Meath u21s 1-10 Westmeath u21s 1-08: Meath had keeper Jack Hannigan to thank for a brilliant block to deny Dylan McDermott a match-winning goal in added time in this Leinster U-21 FC tie at Páirc Tailteann.

Hannigan got down to save from the substitute with time almost up and his side holding a slender two point advantage.

Ruairí Ó Coileain contributed seven points as last year’s beaten finalists safely negotiated the opening hurdle.
