Dublin escape with victory against Meath while Kildare narrowly beat Louth to progress to Leinster U20 semis

Offaly would have been snookered by that result in Darver regardless of what happened against Longford in Newtownforbes, but the Faithful County failed to look after their own business

The Dubs and Kildare progress to the Leinster U20 semi-finals.

In the heavyweight clash in the Eirgrid Leinster U-20 championship tonight, Dublin had three points to spare against Meath at Parnell Park, eventually securing an 0-13 to 1-7 win against the 2021 All-Ireland minor winners on the back of a strong second half showing.

Meath had more than their fair share of chances in the first half but inaccuracy haunted the Royal County, and thanks to two points from play from Clyde Burke and a wonderful individual score from centre back and senior panelist Greg McEneaney, Dublin held an 0-6 to 0-3 interval lead.
