Red-hot Con O’Callaghan turns on the power as holders Dublin see off Meath

Dublin 1-12 Meath 0-9: Rising senior star Con O’Callaghan led the scoring at Parnell Park last night with an impressive 1-7 as holders Dublin cruised through to the semi-finals of the EirGrid Leinster U21 football championship.

Cuala attacker O’Callaghan, who has featured for Dublin in the O’Byrne Cup and Allianz League this year, was a class apart as the hosts heaped further misery on Meath.

The Royal County are struggling at senior level and hoped for a win over a new look Dublin side to secure a morale boosting semi-final clash with Laois or Wicklow.
