Steven Sherlock’s 14-point haul not enough as home side lose momentum in second half
The outstanding Sherlock had eight points on the board by half-time, two of them from play. He also had a goal chance, only to fluff his left-footed shot from six or seven yards out. Taylor nearly found the net too, flashing a shot across the Meath goal that forced a brilliant save from Harry Hogan.

The turning point came midway through the half when the otherwise excellent Ian Maguire was turned over inside the Cork 65 and at the end of a lightning move Morris palmed the ball to the net.
