Meath SFC: Champions Ratoath overcome Skryne

Champions Ratoath continued their winning sequence in the Meath SFC, but they didn’t have matters all their own way as they overcame Skryne 1-10 to 1-5.

A goal from Mark Battersby in the first half added time boosted Skryne to a 1-4 to 0-4 interval lead. Ratoath, who were again minus the Wallace brothers, reduced the deficit in the third quarter and gained parity following a Cian Rogers point on 48 minutes. Jack Flynn pointed them ahead and victory was assured when Conor Rooney found the net five minutes from the finish.
