Meath ready for ‘do or die’ tie with Laois
O’Dowd’s men had shown superb spirit to battle back from a four points deficit in the last 10 minutes with sub Dalton McDonagh hitting three points in an impressive cameo. Andrew Tormey’s point looked to have completed the recovery before the Oak Leafers hit back with the last attack but the Meath manager wasn’t too disappointed to have been pegged back.
“It didn’t really matter if we got one point or two in the game but it was important to get at least one with the way the table is going,” explained the Meath manager, “Obviously we need to beat Laois next Sunday but we would have needed to beat them even if we had won. While you would be disappointed to lose the lead with the last kick of the game, at one stage in the second half we were four down and would have taken a point so we are delighted.”
