Meath manager Andy McEntee has claimed that one of his players was spat at towards the end of their Division 2 encounter with Kildare at Newbridge this afternoon.

Kildare claimed a deserved 1-14 to 0-14 win in the semi-final and, with it, promotion to the top tier next season, but the game was marred by an ugly fracas towards the end involving numerous players from both sides.
