MEATH & DRINK FOR THE ROYALS

Kerry up next after massive win

- By DAIRE WALSH

MEATH will face champions Kerry at the semifinal stage of the TG4 All-Ireland senior football Championship - after goals from Vikki Wall and Niamh Gallogly helped them towards an emphatic triumph over Tipperary at Pairc Tailteann in Navan.

While the Premier opened the scoring with an Anna Rose Kennedy point just 20 seconds into the play, Meath subsequently squeezed in front thanks to unanswered efforts from Gallogly and midfielder Marion Farrelly.

The Royals subsequently bolstered their prospects on six minutes when Wall rifled an unstoppable strike from a left-hand angle into the far corner of the net.
