Louth aim to end 42-year famine against Meath

Eoin O’Connor is banking on a rare double of wins over the old enemy to cap a thrilling start to the year for in-form Louth.

The big St Pat’s man powered Louth to victory over Wicklow on Sunday with 1-2, securing a Leinster quarter-final clash with Meath.

Louth haven’t beaten their neighbours and rivals in a Championship game since 1975 and lost to Meath again last summer at Parnell Park, where the June 4 clash will be played.
