Meath SFC:Navan O'Mahonys and Seneschalstown will meet in the Meath decider for the first time since 1972 following their semi-final wins over Dunboyne and Simonstown Gaels respectively at Páirc Tailteann yesterday.

Thomas Loughran was the three-goal hero for O'Mahonys as they inflicted an 11-point defeat on 2005 victors Dunboyne on a 4-12 to 2-7 scoreline. The first half had been close enough, with the Navan side ahead by 2-5 to 1-4 at the break.

Seneschalstown were boosted by two goals from Joe Sheridan, the first of them from a penalty, as they held out for a 3-6 to 1-9 success over Simonstown.
