Meath forfeit home advantage against Dublin in Leinster u-21 FC

Meath u-21 football manager Sean Barry will have to face Dublin in the quarter-final of the Leinster u-21FC on Wednesday 2nd March at Parnell Park in Dublin due to the lack of a suitable venue to host the game in the Royal County.

The draw favoured Meath with a home tie, but with Páirc Táilteann out of commission due to the lack of floodlights, the game will now be played at the Dublin venue at 7.30pm on Wednesday 2nd March.
