That display of point kicking by Meath in the 2nd half was probably the best in Croker about 13/14 years. Some wondrous scores by Flynn, O’Connor and Costello. Special mention for Conor Gray too. Lots of involvements and key primary possession wins.

Tough one to take for Dunshaughlin. But after the year they've had and with their team profile they're going to be serious Keegan Cup contenders for the next 5-6 years. Matthew Costello is the best player in the county. That man needs to put his feet up now for a few months.

The total cost for showing horse racing in betting shops in 2024. There is no turnover brackets or categories. It's the same for the biggest Boyles/Paddy shops in large urban centers as it is for BetXS in the villages Ballivor/Kilbeggan. How am I supposed to offer gambling care?
