Two counties earnestly striving to rekindle past glories clashed in this Group 2 All-Ireland SFC encounter and its advantage Meath after grinding out a deserved win.
This latest meeting was a far cry from past explosive encounters and for lengthy spells it proved a dour struggle with only three points in the opening 20 minutes and none from open play.
