Dublin, Meath, Westmeath and Wicklow join Kilkenny to secure place in knockout stage

Dublin, Meath, Westmeath and Wicklow all secured their place in the knockout stages of the Leinster minor football championship last night, joining Kildare who wrapped up a semi-final spot with their win over Kilkenny on Tuesday evening in Nowlan Park.

They will be joined by the winners of Laois and Longford who meet on Saturday evening in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, with a draw enough for Laois to secure top spot and the other automatic semi-final place, alongside Kildare.
