Tonight in Ashbourne

Meath 1-22
Dublin 1-18

Anyone know what the Meath penalty was for?

Must've been dissent? If so should it only have been a 14 yard free rather than a penalty?

[Shamrock Shore]

Seems Louth have a handy side this year.
Could take some stopping.

We certainly weren't in the position to do so last night.

Meath 0-19
Westmeath 0-12

Full time. Solid performance. Westmeath never looked like catching us.

Louth into another u20 final.

[Cunny Funt]

Fair play to louth, Seniors holding their own in div 2 and with good players coming through from this and last years U20s they could possibly push on and play in division 1 in the years ahead.  Dublin meanwhile have gone five straight years without winning a Leinster U20 title.

[Fogarty]

All the massive funding Dublin get and they still lose to Louth!

[The Boy Wonder]

If Louth could get a Leinster U20 title at least under their belt they could really kick on at senior level.

What's the story with their new ground ?  Great interest there presently but unfortunately no decent home ground.

[Fogarty]

Dublin beat Louth at minor 3 years ago 5-14 to 1-1.

Wonder does Gavin Devlin get any credit for Louths upturn.

I know he's over the academy in Louth but maybe it's too soon for any the upturn in fortunes to be credited to him
