Naas will progress to take on St Loman’s of Mullingar.
A STRONG FINISH at the Kildare training centre in Hawkfield secured a slightly flattering 10-point Leinster club SFC quarter-final win for hosts Naas.
They reduced a five-point half-time deficit to just two with 49 minutes on the clock but didn’t score again as Naas took over with an unanswered 1-5. The result means that from the 33 games played by Meath SFC winners in Leinster since 2002, they have now lost 20 of them. They got off to a poor start when the hosts registered 1-2 without response, Sean Hanafin nailing their eighth minute goal after a long delivery towards Dermot Hanafin broke kindly.
They couldn’t push on though and, truth be told, Naas were unfortunate not to have scored more goals earlier with Kirwan twice thwarted in the first-half.
