Extra time was needed in Navan after Ratoath ensured this was another epic contest.
Paul Keane reports from Pairc Tailteann, Navan
Man of the match Eoghan Frayne was among their scorers in extra-time and struck 0-6 overall while the exciting Barry Dardis weighed in with 0-5 and was one of 10 different players to get on the score sheet. Defeated Ratoath were initially boosted by the availability of former Meath attacker Joey Wallace for his first start of 2023.
Wallace won a free that Daithi McGowan later converted also though it was Summerhill that fought back to take a narrow 0-10 to 1-6 half-time lead. It was an open and enjoyable decider with a series of intriguing match-ups for the estimated crowd of around 3,000 to pore over. Ratoath restarted brightly and controlled the third quarter, outscoring Summerhill by 0-4 to 0-1 in the 15 or so minutes after the break.
