Meath have already switched their focus to Saturday week's Qualifier against Armagh, according to goalkeeper Paddy O'Rourke.

Trounced by Dublin in Sunday's Leinster final, the Royals return to Croke Park to face the Orchard County for a place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals:

"It's going to be as tough as people build it up and make it out to be," the Skryne clubman says in The Irish Daily Star. "We're already looking to that game.

"What's done is done. We can't change the past. It's all about going forward from here.

"We started building for Armagh from on the bus home and we'll continue right from here. We can't change the result; we can't go back and play the game again.

"We can only play what's in front of us and Armagh are what's in front of us. Our attention and focus has turned to that game already."
