Meath GAA have officially apologised to the Down county board after an offensive tweet from their official account described McKenna Park in Ballycran as "a kip."

The tweet - which has since been deleted - was posted in response to a match result that didn’t even involve the Meath hurlers. Instead it involved Offaly, who defeated Down by 0-21 to 0-18 in Division 2A of the Allianz League.
