Louth give an exhibition of game management 

Who would have thought it was possible, especially under such pressure? Matthew Costello had just scored Meath’s goal. Louth won the kickout but Meath turned over that possession and set off on the attack. With 62.56 on the clock, Aaron Lynch was in possession 22 metres from the Louth goal when Bevan Duffy forced the turnover. And for the rest of the game, only one Meath player touched the ball.
