Meath outgunned despite Geraghty return

1999 All-Ireland winning captain Graham Geraghty made his first start for 18 months, but ended up on the losing side in today’s O’Byrne Cup quarter final as Kildare saw off Meath 2-11 to 1-11 in Newbridge.

Both Geraghty and Ollie Murphy – stalwarts of the Royals attack – returned to action but could do little, as goals from under-21 Ross Galvin and Ronan Sweeney – who missed last year’s Championship defeats to Wexford and Offaly due to an ankle injury – handed the Lilywhites victory.
