Paddy Keenan says all Louth's players were equally to blame for the defeat to Meath.

The Wee County fielded five debutants in Sunday's O'Byrne Cup quarter-final clash at Navan, slipping to a 0-11 to 0-5 defeat. But their captain feels the more experienced players were as much at fault as the new bloods:

"In fairness, it wasn't just the young lads who made mistakes. A lot of older lads who know better made them and a few of us who should know better perhaps should have stepped up to the plate.

"We all have to look at ourselves individually and collectively with that, but we will look at the video, take something from it.

"But we have to remember Meath are a big strong team. At this time of year, we are not at that stage yet, but we will get there." Tweet
