HS Meath Hurling Team of the Week
August 21, 2015
Boardsmill were the big winners last weekend.

Champions Kiltale remain unbeaten while Dunboyne appear to be closing the gap on the holders. Trim are into the knockout stages along with Kildalkey and Killyon while O'Mahonys and Blackhall have it all to play for in round 5.
