Meath take win over Roscommon

Meath were victorious in their new manager John Andrews' first competitive game in charge. They easily saw off the challenge of Roscommon, winning 3-17 to 0-5 at Páirc Tailteann.

The Royals were 13-point winners over the men from the west when these sides last met in the 2006 Christy Ring Cup, so a home win was always on the cards, but a number of players put their hands up for selection, which will have buoyed Andrews.
