Grimes to the ‘four’ in victory

MEATH ladies’ first foray in the Intermediate ranks proved a winning one as they registered a comfortable victory at Pairc Tailteann on Sunday.

Seneschalstown’s Stacey Grimes proved the star of the show for the Meath girls, scoring 4-1.

Grimes’ opening goal came from the penalty spot following a foul on Niamh O’Sullivan which resulted in a sin-binning for the offender.

St Patrick’s Emma White accounted for a second goal and Fiona O’Neill also found the net before Grimes struck for her second goal.

Meath eventually led 4-3 to 0-4 at the break and the one-way nature of the game continued in the second half as Grimes added to her goal tally.

Meath’s next outing sees them take on Wexford in Dunshaughlin on Sunday at 2.30pm.
