Meath LGFA: Meath’s remarkable season on their return to the TG4 Senior Championship continued today when they overturned beaten 2020 All-Ireland semi-finalists Armagh with a swashbuckling display in Clones this afternoon. With Stacey Grimes chipping in with 0-03, Meath won out by 3-15 to 1-14. This sets up a semi-final tussle with Cork, a rematch of the Round 1 encounter where Meath were desperately unlucky to come up short against the Rebelettes. The semi-final takes place on the weekend of August 14th, with an exact date and time to be confirmed.
