Ladies football round-up as Meath get All-Ireland defence off to winning start

Meath interim manager Jenny Rispin said she was delighted that the reigning TG4 All-Ireland champions got the defence of their title off to a winning start when they defeated Waterford by 1-13 to 1-8 at Fraher Field.

All Star forward Emma Duggan fired 1-4, including a late goal, as they advanced to the quarter-finals with a hard-earned win in Dungarvan. Orlagh Lally landed four points from play for the visitors while Niamh Gallogly got two.

"Just delighted to be honest. Delighted for the girls,” said Rispin. “There's been a spotlight on them for the last few weeks and for themselves to come out and respond, they deserve any accolades they get after today.
