Seamus McEnaney was buzzing after Meath's victory over his former Monaghan charges in Navan on Saturday night.

"I am absolutely delighted," the Royal County boss enthused.

"It always means a lot for me when the group of players that I am managing fronts up to the challenge, puts up a serious performance with pride in the jersey, and I think Meath gave us all of that.

"They came out and fronted up to the challenge, working tremendously hard and for me 1-15 is a very good score in February. I think in the 10 minutes after the Monaghan goal we won the game. We replied with five points and were one-up at half-time and we scored two after.

"I think in that 14- or 15-minute period we won the game. We got a point within a minute of their goal and that was very important. We came here with a system that we felt would beat Monaghan.

"It is fair to say I am well used to the Monaghan players and we knew that the system would work, and I am delighted that it did." Tweet
