MEATH SFC Wolfe Tones 0-11 Navan O'Mahoney's 0-8: YESTERDAY'S LOSING side in the replayed semi-final at Páirc Tailteann are expected to lodge an objection against the result being allowed to stand.

Tones had midfielder Stephen Corrigan sent off on receipt of a straight red card near the end of the drawn tie seven days earlier, but Tones appealed to the county board and had the suspension lifted because the player was dismissed in extra-time.

The accuracy of Cian Ward from placed balls was the crucial factor for Wolfe Tones.
