The game between Laois and Meath was a game of two halves, and one which the wind played a huge factor in.
Playing with a massive breeze, the hosts had a significant 1-16 to 0-5 lead at half-time in O’Moore Park. Star forward Ciaran Comerford hit the goal. He went on to score 1-7.
Brian Dowling then helped the Royals produce a spirited second half comeback as he rattled the net. They hit six consecutive scores as the clock ran down, but Laois held on and the difference in the end was five points.
