An early second half blitz from an excellent Meath forward division put this final group game out of reach of the home side.

12 minutes in Meabh Cunningham (Kildalkey) raced clear down the right to fire home Meath's opening goal. The excellent Murray, Meagher and Faye Govern (Dunderry) kept the scoreboard ticking over, Half time Meath 1-9 Roscommon 1-3.

The second half opened with Meath dominating the early battle against the breeze, scoring three well worked goals, Murray (2) and Holly Reilly (Boardsmill) firing to the back of the net.
The introduction of Aoife Dunne (Kildalkey) and Eve McCormack (Killyon) drove Meath to dominate the middle third and Reilly tagging on another goal.

The excellent Aoibhinn Ward (Na Fianna) and Grace Hogan (Navan O'Mahonys) broke up any Roscommon threat.
