True. The turning point of the game was Cian Ward missing a 14 yard free (yes, really) when the crowd were just getting behind the home side. If he'd scored I think the game would have been won with 15 mins to go.....

Just back from the game. What a let-off for the Royals! Two poor teams but an ubelievably exiting finish. Can't see Meath going far on this exhibition. Thoght Reilly did well on Joyce 1st half esp., King looked good too.

Unbelievably, miraculously, Kiltale are Meath Senior Hurling Champions!!!

Two words sum up the performance - hard work. Kilmessam weren't given an inch, so much so that they scored just one point in the second half.

Kiltale in the final for the first time in 24 years. Kilmessan there AGAIN. They looked unbeatable in the first half, but faded a little after being reduced to 14 before kicking on at the end....

So, a local rivalry is renewed, but for the first time ever in a final.
