But they got control of Meath’s kickout for a period midway through the first half that allowed them to take control of the game, shooting four points without reply between the 25th and 30th minutes to go 0-11 to 0-6 in front.

This period of dominance may have been influenced by the fact that Meath had lost midfield talisman Bryan Menton on 20 minutes, as he suffered an injury while scrambling to collect a loose Jordan Morris handpass.

It was symptomatic of a frustrating afternoon for Morris, who had previously overcooked a handpass to Mathew Costello in the early minutes when a goal was on.
