Very true lucan. Bizarrely even got man of the match. A good lad the dude. Best of luck to him.

Why bizarrely?

[charlieTully]

Why bizarrely?

Because there were three or four who played better on the day. Its all subjective  anyway.

[lucan]

I thought the same Charley.

SF Challenge: Meath defeat Down
03 May 2015

Meath overcame Down by four points in this senior football challenge to mark the official opening of the magnificent facilities at St Patricks GAA club in Stamullen Co.Meath.

Meath 2-13 Down 1-12

Both counties made numerous changes to their starting XV listed in the programme. Donal O'Hare opened the scoring for the Ulster men but Meath hit back with a Graham Reilly brace. Full forward Shane O'Rourke pointed to give the home county a 0-4 to 0-3 lead at the midway stage. The accurate Paul Devlin put Down back in front when he sent over two frees. The Royals send over the next four points courtesy of Reilly (2), Harry Rooney and Andy Tormey but it was Down who dominated the closing stages. Ryan Johnston got in for a well worked goal and five unanswered points from Peter Fitzpatrick, Devlin (3) and Johnston gave the visitors a 1-10 to 0-8 interval lead.

Meath got a great start to the second half with a Graham Reilly goal after 2 minutes. Reilly and Bryan McMahon (2) added points to put Mick O'Dowds men in front. On as a first half substitute, Conor Laverty drew the teams level and the Kilcoo player put Down back in front with a point from the penalty spot. That proved to be their last score as Meath took over. Reilly added a goal and a point. Tormey finished out the scoring when sending over a free.

While it was a good work out for both teams Down manager Jim McCorry will be a little worried about the injuries picked up by Ross McGarry and keeper Kieran Gordon.

Meath scorers: Graham Reilly 2-6, Bryan McMahon and Andy Tormey 0-2 each, Eamonn Wallace, Shane O'Rourke and Harry Rooney 0-1 each.

Down scorers: Paul Devlin 0-5, Ryan Johnston 1-1, Conor Laverty 0-2, Donal O'Hare and Peter Fitzpatrick 0-1 each.

Meath: Conor McHugh, Simon Carty, Conor McGill, James McEntee, Nicky Judge, Ciaran McConnell, Brian Power, Harry Rooney, Sean Tobin, Graham Reilly, Damien Carroll, Andy Tormey, Eamonn Wallace, Shane O'Rourke, Bryan McMahon.
