Meath footballer Shane McEntee has denied claims the Meath County Board paid for his flights home from a Defence Forces tour of duty in Mali ahead of the county’s Leinster semi-final against Dublin last month.

In a now deleted tweet, McEntee - the son of recently departed Meath manager Andy - took to social media to state that it was he, and not the Meath County Board, who had paid for the €1,000 flights.
