Meath almost slip up on the home straight
However unlike Ruby Walsh at Prestbury Park last Tuesday they had time to pick themselves up and snatch a share of the spoils, though it must have felt like a point lost rather than one gained. Substitute Eamon Wallace proved the savour with the equaliser on the stroke of 70 minutes.
The well fancied favourites seemed to be cantering to a third successive success after opening up a seven point gap early in the second half. They led 0-9 to 0-4 at the break and that lead quickly extended shortly after the restart. They idled in front though and almost paid a hefty price as Laois produced a storming revival.
