Meath SHC Final/Rathmolyon 2-14 Dunboyne 2-12: A late goal from Gary Cole gave Rathmolyon victory over Dunboyne in Trim yesterday.

The advantage changed hands a number of times and a draw looked a likely outcome when Mickey Cole, who had converted nine frees and hit one point from play, stepped up to take a free which fell to brother Gary for the dramatic winner.

Dunboyne held a 2-3 to 0-8 interval lead but Rathmolyon recovered well and got their first goal through Tommy Lynch.
