Christy Ring Cup favourites Meath had to overcome a stiff challenge from Derry before securing their place in the competition final on Saturday week, where they’ll face a Down side that had nine points to spare against Roscommon in the other semi-final. Regan had ten points on the board by half-time, when Meath held a slender 0-15 to 2-8 lead. Donegal will be replaced by either Sligo or Armagh in next year’s Christy Ring cup following wins for those two counties over Warwickshire and Tyrone over the weekend. Leitrim and Lancashire will contest the Lory Meagher Cup final, with Fermanagh missing out on scoring difference by the narrowest of margins. Goals from Clement Cunniffe and Ben Murray meant they did exactly that, 2-18 to 1-16 the final score.
