Hear from Robbie Brennan, Eoghan Frayne, Conor Duke & Jordan Morris on full-time at Glenisk O’Connor Park in Tullamore after Meath beat Kerry on a scoreline of 1-22 to 0-16.
After leading by 6 at the break, it was a disatrous start to the second half for Meath as Cathal Hickey picked up a black card just 15 seconds into the 2nd half for a cynical pull back following the throw-in.
Dylan Geaney knocked over two in quick succession, but by the time Hickey returned, The Royals still held 5 point lead, at 16 points to 11.
A pair of fine two pointers from Ruairi Kinsella & Conor Duke extended Meath’s lead to 7 with just 15 to play.
Not to long after Meath stalwart Bryan Menton goaled for the Royals to open up a 10 point lead, which proved to be unassailable.
Meath will now have significant break before the All-Ireland quarter finals at Croke Park.
Kerry on the other hand will have to settle for a home preliminary-quarter final next weekend.
