Minor
Oldcastle were the visitors to Fr. Tully Park last Friday evening in a game where the winners would guarantee themselves a home semi-final. Seneschalstown suffered the loss of two key players through injury in the opening stages of the game but were still tied with a minute of the hour remaining. However Oldcastle hit them with a sucker punch of 1-03 in the space of two minutes to eventually win by 4-13 to 3-10 and seal top spot in the Division for the North Meath side.
Seneschalstown though still managed to secure a home semi-final when St. Patrick’s defeated Na Fianna in a result which secured the Stamullen side a semi-final spot and also ensured Seneschalstown finished second in the table and that home semi-final.
