Meath Hill's Jason Yorke
Meath Hill 3-10
Dunderry 1-11
Meath Hill came out on top in this league game played in Meath Hill on Sunday at noon.
Dunderry started the stronger of the two teams and had 3 points on the score board before Meath Hill got their opening score from an Ian Malone goal, a good finish from a tight angle after some fine build up play. This seemed to waken up the north Meath side as they pushed on and got further scores from the lively Pierce McGrath who finished the game with 6 points including one fine point from a tight angle. Ian Malone added a point to his tally before Chris Yorke pointed a free to leave the score at 1-8 to 0-8 at half time.
The second half started much the same as the first with Dunderry starting the brightest and they were denied a goal by a good save from Dominic Yorke. They did however get a goal shortly after as a high ball was punched into the back of the net. But Meath Hill replied straight back with a goal of their own as Pierce McGrath laid the ball of to midfielder Jason Yorke and he drove the ball in top corner from 18 yards out with a rasping shot to leave the score at 2-8 to 1-9. Chris Yorke then pointed a 45 before Jason Yorke scored his second goal with cool finish after catching a good pass from Tommy Rooney. Meath Hill rounded off the scoring with a late Chris Yorke free to leave 5 points between the teams at the finish. Overall Meath Hill will be very happy with the team performance and will be looking to build on it with championship next Saturday against Summerhill.
