Sat, 15th June 2019

Dublin senior camogie team were pushed all the way to the wire before registering a 1-16 to 0-12 triumph over Meath at Parnell's GAA in their All-Ireland Championship clash on Saturday evening.

A second minute Kerrie Finnegan goal as the only goal of the game helped Dublin to a 1-5 to 0-7 lead at the break.

Sinead Wylde and the returning Siobhán Kehoe gave the Dubs the upper hand but scores from Dolan and Kristina Troy brought Meath back to within a goal of their rivals. Dublin slotted the last four points however to remove any doubt.

"We knew it was going to be a difficult test. But we were happy with our display. The players worked hard and we defended well," said Dublin manager Frank Browne.
