Meath claim victory over Wicklow 1-17 to 1-12 in Aughrim Sat 15 June 2013

Meath claim victory over Wicklow 1-17 to 1-12 in Aughrim Sat 15 June 2013

Wicklow Penalty !

 

 Meath Goal !

Two points in Meath’s favour when Wicklow’s Seanie Furlong shaped up to take a Wicklow penalty but his effort was saved by Meath Goalkeeper Paddy O'Rourke.

Wicklow were awarded a controversial penalty when Meath goalkeeper Paddy O'Rourke appeared to have been impeded by Furlong outside the small square but play continued and O’Rourke was himself penalised for a tug on Wicklow’s McGrath. Furlong struck a poor penalty, however, and O'Rourke saved.

Meat’s Kevin Reilly's 33 min goal from half way was welcome as Meath took a 1-10 to 1-4 advantage at half time in a wet and windy Aughrim with Meath playing with the wind.

Meath maintained momentum in e second half and despite a last-minute McLoughlin point, Wicklow were unable to get back in and it was the Meath men who won to book a semi-final meeting with Wexford.

Meath - P O'Rourke; D Keoghan, K Reilly (1-0), B Menton (0-1); C Lenihan, C King, M Burke; B Meade (0-1), C Gillespie; P Byrne, D Carroll, G Reilly (0-4); E Wallace (0-3), S Bray, M Newman (0-5, 4f, '45). Subs: S Kenny for Burke, P Harnan (0-1) for Lenihan, B Farrell for Carroll, J Sheridan (0-1) for Newman, P Gilsenan (0-1) for Byrne.
