First half goals from Niall Toner and Ethan Doherty prove important scores at Owenbeg
Indeed, Derry started the half as they began it when Ethan Doherty rifled a goal home in his side’s first attack of the game. Points from Padraig McGrogan, a lovely fisted effort after a lung-bursting run, and another from Shane McGuigan handed the hosts an early 1-2 to no score lead.
Paul Cassidy and Benny Heron extended Derry’s lead before Donal Lenihan’s 19th minute point would be Meath’s third and final score of a one-sided half. The home side once again grabbed the initiative after the interval, a monster point from Eoin McEvoy – outstanding in his debut season in the red and white – was quickly followed by Shane McGuigan’s second of the contest.
Next up they are on the road to Kildare next weekend while Meath will look to return to winning ways when they host Louth.: Odhran Lynch, Chrissy McKaigue, Eoin McEvoy , Conor McCluskey, Padraig McGrogan , Conor Doherty, Padraig Cassidy , Conor Glass, Brendan Rogers, Niall Toner , Paul Cassidy, Ethan Doherty , Benny Heron , Shane McGuigan , Niall Loughlin.
