SFC: Byrne earns point for holders

August 26, 2019

Liam Byrne salvaged a draw for the holders

Dunboyne 0-15 St. Colmcilles 1-12

Keegan Cup holders Dunboyne escaped with a draw from this entertaining Meath senior football championship round 4 game against St Colmcilles in Stamullen.

A Jack Reynolds goal after 13 minutes put the 'Cilles' in control of the opening half and they carried a two point lead 1-6 to 0-7 lead to the dressing rooms.

The gap was out to three midway through the second half and with six minutes to go St Colmcilles still held a two point advantage but with the last kick of the game substitute Liam Byrne pointed and earned Dunboyne a share of the spoils. 

Dunboyne meet Simonstown in the last round while unlucky St Colmcilles take on Curraha.

Dunboyne scorers: Robbie McCarthy and David McEntee 0-4 each, Donal Lenihan 0-3, Stuart Lowndes and Liam Byrne 0-1 each

Dunboyne: C Flynn, J Scanell, S McEntee, G McCoy, C Doran, C Lowndes, J McLoughlin, D Gallagher, J Donnelly, N Jones, J Cox, C Lacey, R McCarthy, D McEntee and D Lenihan. Subs: M Dunne for J Cox, L Byrne for N Jones and S Lowndes for C Lacey
