Gilsenan injury to harm Meath?

[Ard-Rí]

Meath's hopes of preserving their Allianz Football League Division 2 status have suffered a blow with the news that Paddy Gilsenan is facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

The Oldcastle forward has been one of the few shining lights in what has been a bitterly disappointing campaign for the Royals, who are facing a relegation showdown with neighbours Louth in Navan on Sunday week.

Gilsenan was especially prominent in the early rounds when Meath chalked up wins over Monaghan and Westmeath, but they have since suffered four straight defeats that have left them in the relegation mire for the second successive year.

As one of the few playing well, will Gilsenan's injury signal Division 3 Football for the Royals? Or will the team produce a strong enough performance to beat Louth?
