Meath Hill 2-18, Oldcastle 0-15

Oldcastle made the journey to Meath Hill on a warm Saturday evening in a repeat of last years Corn Na Boinne final.

Oldcastle made a strong start, opening the scoring with a point from play, but Meath Hill quickly found their rhythm. Gary Breslin responded with a point, and Ryan Shekelton added another fine score off the outside of the boot. Dominic Yorke then delivered a brilliant two-pointer from the sideline to put the Hill in front.

Meath Hill’s pressure paid off midway through the first half, as Breslin found the net after patient build-up play. Oldcastle hit back with two points, but Meath Hill remained in control, with another point from Breslin and a lovely score from Jack McMahon extending their lead. Yorke added a second two-pointer, and Damien Turley rounded off a dominant first half with a close-range goal after a surging run from James Mooney. 

At half time, Meath Hill led 2-11 to 0-6

Breslin opened the second half with a free, and while Oldcastle responded with a pair of frees, Meath Hill maintained their dominance. Breslin struck again with a rocket of a point, and Jack McMahon curled over another beauty from the arc. Oldcastle continued to press, adding a few more points, but Meath Hill always had an answer.

Sean Owens and Andy Monaghan added further scores, and the Hill’s defence remained resolute, with key clearances from Cillian Marron and Jack Slavin ensuring the lead was never under threat. Meath Hill’s attacking play and strong team performance saw them run out comfortable winners.
