With a number of players match tied because of Meath’s Under 21 game next Wednesday and a number of other players injured, an under strength senior team hosted Seneschalstown in the league last night. Our lads were slow out of the blocks and were 1-01 behind with 90 seconds of the start, but did manage to have the sides level at the interval on 2-06 apiece. Two early goals for the visitors was the difference in the end,  and we lost out by 4-10 to 2-10. Match report .
