Meath maintained their perfect start in the Lidl Ladies NFL Division 1 with a 2-10 to 2-5 win in Waterford and manager Shane McCormack was pleased with the way they carved out the victory in the end.

"It was a battling performance. Waterford are a fantastic team and well set up by Pat Sullivan. In the last couple of games, there's only been four or five points in it with Armagh and Kerry. We knew we were up against it but we worked hard. Very strong wind in both halves but we kept the ball and that's what we're happy about. Disappointed with the two goals we conceded, especially the first one. They got a run on us,” said McCormack.

It’s a third loss in a row for Waterford and manager Pat Sullivan said they are paying a big price for errors.

"Overall, we played really well and I said the same after the Kerry game. What we have to learn is you can't cough up simple chances. We had three or four frees from 21 or 13 yard that we missed in the second half. We got two great goals but straight away after scoring our goals, we conceded a goal instead of holding possession and killing the game. We're undoing our good work with simple errors."
