Meath gamble pays off in statement win over Rossies

Meath played into the stiff wind first and reflected on a relatively healthy four-point deficit at the break.

Division 2: Meath 2-18 (2-3-12) Roscommon 0-17 (0-3-11)  

It wasn't quite loading up the mortgage money and betting on black but Meath manager Robbie Brennan made a significant gamble all the same in Navan.
