Fitzpatrick: We showed true grit

Louth manager Peter Fitzpatrick praised his side's character as they withstood Westmeath's late rally to claim a place in their first Leinster Senior Football Championship final since 1960.

Louth are fast becoming the team of this year's Championship as they battled their way to a 1-15 to 2-10 Croke Park victory over the Lakesiders, adding to previous wins over Longford and Kildare.
