Meath Bulldogs 28 – 16 Drogheda Lightning
The Meath Bulldogs came away from Navan RFC with a hard fought victory over the Drogheda Lightning. The fact that the game was tied at 16 at half time shows how much of a battle this game was.
Bulldogs’ running back Pete McMahon scored three touchdowns on the day, along with a successful 2-pt conversion whilst fellow running back Barry Lorton also rushed in a 2-pt.
The Lightning wouldn’t allow Meath to run away with the game, putting up points themselves through Mick O’Shea, who bounced off four tackles on his way to the end zone for an impressive score, and Craig McCormack, who scored his first senior touchdown as well as wrapping up the Lightnings’ game MVP.
But Meath’s stand-in quarterback Steve McDonnell rounded off the scoring with a passing score to Mark McCabe.
