A goal and a point late on makes up for costly mistake that had let Wolfe Tomes take the lead in Navan
Dunshaughlin celebrate after beating Wolfe Tones to secure the Meath SFC title at Páirc Tailteann in Navan. Photograph: James Lawlor/InphoThe clock had just ticked into the 52nd minute in Navan when Dunshaughlin’s Mathew Costello stood over a free in his own team’s defence.
The 2021 winners doubled their advantage shortly after but after the year that Costello has put down – he lost his father Paul last May before Meath’s All-Ireland SFC game against Louth – this wasn’t about to crack him.Antrim SHC Final: Cushendall retain title as they edge out Dunloy “Straight away I turned around and three or four players came straight to me and said, ‘Come on, let’s go’. They knew I had it in me to go again, just as I knew they had it in them to go again.”
Costello finished with 1-2, the same haul as club and county colleague Ruairí Kinsella who was named man of the match.
