ELECTRIC IRELAND ALL-IRELAND MINOR B SHIELD FINAL

Meath v Westmeath, Kinnegad, 1pm on Sunday 28th April

Referee: Karol Collins (Galway)

These two were in the same group and while they found B Championship finalists Armagh too hot to handle, they have their own shot at silverware now. On their efforts against the Orchard County girls, they seem evenly enough matched but when they faced off on St Patrick’s Day, it was the Royals that were victorious in the local derby, writes Daragh Ó Conchúir.

Kerry had too much firepower for Westmeath in the B Championship quarter-final, and though Meath threatened Carlow throughout, they were five points short at the final whistle.

That set up this clash for Shield honours and in a one-off encounter with cup on the line, anything could happen.
