Back to Croker for Meath

Meath footballers will return to Croke Park on Saturday week for their 2014 debut in the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers when they will face Ulster side Armagh in the first game of a double header at 5.00pm.

The second game, also an All-Ireland SFC qualifier, will feature another Leinster - Ulster clash when Kidlare take on Monaghan with a 7.00pm throw-in scheduled.

Armagh defeated Roscommon in a third round qualifier at Hyde Park on Saturday evening by 1-17 to 1-12.

They will be optimistic about their prospects against the Royal County as they defeated Meath in Navan in the NFL Div 2 last March by 0-19 to 2-10 in front of 3,300 spectators.

If the game ends in a draw, extra-time will be played. Both games will be televised by SKY.
