Summerhill (Meath) 2-13
Newtown Blues (Louth) 1-13

Summerhill kept their nerve and were ahead by 1-3 to 1-2 in the 16th minute thanks to a goal from Adrian Kenny.
Newtown Blues responded with Keith Lynch amongst their point-scorers as they lead by 1-7 to 1-4 at the interval.
But Summerhill exploded from the blocks at the start of the second-half and hit 1-5 without reply in the ten minute period after half-time with Paul Rispin shooting home their second goal.
Newtown Blues kept battling until the finish but Summerhill were ably to rely on the cushion from that Rispin goal to ultimately claim a three-point victory.
