Andy McEntee admitted his Meath players left Croke Park with a “mixture of regret and a little bit of frustration” after pushing Dublin so close.

The Royals, beaten by Dublin in the last two Leinster finals by a cumulative 37 points, trailed by just three in stoppage time after a thrilling comeback before succumbing.
