THERE WAS A winning start for the footballers of Louth and hurlers of Westmeath today in their pre-season openers in Leinster.
At Páirc Tailteann in Navan, Louth saw off Meath by two points in their O’Byrne Cup opener. The only goal of the game arrived from a Sam Mulroy penalty in the 47th minute for Louth and proved crucial in the eventual 1-9 to 0-10 win.
Louth were in front 0-6 to 0-4 at the break and despite Meath drawing level in the second half, that Mulroy strike gave the Wee County some breathing space on the scoreboard.
Louth will face Offaly in Round 2 next Saturday afternoon with Meath travelling to play Westmeath.
