Meath fight back to draw with Derry in All-Ireland Intermediate Camogie final

Derry and Meath will have to do it all over again after the pair could not be separated in an entertaining Glen Dimplex All-Ireland intermediate camogie final at Croke Park.

Aoife Minogue had a late opportunity to snatch what would have been a brilliant comeback win for Meath, but her shot from a difficult free drifted just wide after looking on target for most of its trajectory. Hawk-Eye did not intercede to indicate that the umpire had made an incorrect decision and that was that.

Dual star Minogue hadn't her best day from placed balls but it was a credit to the Dunderry flier that she did not allow those difficulties to impact on her general play, proving an inspiration with her forceful effort and indomitable spirit as Meath clawed themselves back into the fray after trailing by seven points.

Derry will be distraught that they failed to score from Lauren McKenna's point midway through the third quarter, which put them 1-09 to 1-02 ahead after Abbye Donnelly had gotten the second-half scoring under way.

In the end, they were probably the happier to emerge from proceedings with a second bite of the cherry as they were undoubtedly hanging on when the final whistle came from Bernard Nea, who contributed to the enjoyable fare with his commitment to avoiding unnecessary involvement.

Minogue had a point on the board after nine seconds but Aoife Shaw hit back with a quick-fire double for Derry.

Then came a lovely finish for a goal from Ciara Foley in the sixth minute but Meath would not trouble to scorekeeper for the rest of the
