Mick O’Dowd blames defeat on ‘low energy’ Meath attack

Fermanagh 0-10 Meath 0-6: Mick O’Dowd blamed a “low energy” in Meath’s attacking play for their failure to get to get to grips with Fermanagh in Brewster Park.

The Royals failed to score for 25 minutes either side of half time following the dismissal of Andrew Tormey, and only hit one point from play in a damp, dogged contest.

Conditions were awful, and both sides found it difficult to convert frees on a heavy pitch, but O’Dowd refused to make excuses for his under-performing forwards.
