Dublin maintained their unbeaten Ladies Leinster SFC final record at Dr Cullen Park, Carlow yesterday when they crusied to a 3-14 to 0-9 victory over Meath in very hot conditions.

Dublin blitzed Meath in the opening minutes with Lyndsay Peat finding the net inside 40 seconds and she added a second goal soon after as the Royal defence was breached too easily.

Dublin were ahead by 2-6 to 0-6 at the interval and added a third goal a minute into the second-half which effectively finished the game as a contest.

Meath - Irene Munnelly (St Ultan’s); Eileen Rahill (Oldcastle), Julie Anne Scanlon (Summerhill), Aideen Guy (Boardsmill); Aedin Murray (Navan O’Mahonys 0-1), Marie O’Shaughnessy (Donaghmore/Ashbourne), Emma Troy (Boardsmill); Shauna Bennett (St Ultan’s), Sinead McCormack (St Michael’s); Shauna Ennis (Na Fianna), Katie O’Brien (St Ultan’s 0-3 frees), Sinead Coyle (Oldcastle); Geraldine Doherty (St Ultan’s 0-4 one free), Bridgetta Lynch (Oldcastle 0-1), Jenny Rispin (Summerhill). Subs - Helen Regan (Boardsmill) for McCormack 42 mins, Hannah Cullen (Na Fianna) for Ennis 49m, Laura Dempsey (Boardsmill) for Guy 55m.

Meath now await the draw for the All-Ireland qualifiers for their next game.
