Offaly will meet Louth next Sunday after a brilliant win in Tullamore.
OFFALY EMERGED AS deserving victors against Meath to set up a Leinster semi-final berth with Louth next Sunday, while Meath must settle for the Tailteann Cup following this afternoon’s contest in Tullamore.
Hard running from Rory Egan and Lee Pearson put Meath on the back foot in the first half. In this fashion, it was right wing back Egan who got the game’s only goal, bringing Offaly to a 1-4 to 0-0 lead after 20 minutes. The second half began with Meath showing much greater intent after some astute substitutions. However, Offaly did not allow Meath get too much of a foothold in the game, despite looking tired as the half wore on. Declan Hogan, Ruairi McNamee and Jack McEvoy all impressed for the home side.
