MEATH 3-11 LAOIS 0-6

LONGFORD 1-7 WICKLOW 1-6

WEXFORD 0-16 LOUTH 1-6

Meath produced a fine performance to defeat an experimental Laois team at O'Moore Park.

Ronan Ryan, Daniel Quinn, and Thomas O'Reilly netted goals for Andy McEntee's outfit.

Mickey Newman drilled five points for the Royals, who held a commanding 2-8 to 0-3 half-time lead.

Robbie Smyth's late point earned Longford a narrow victory over Wicklow at Newtownforbes.

Wicklow had drawn level in the closing stages, but Smyth contributed the decisive score for the midlanders.

Wexford finished strongly to secure a deserved win over Louth at Darver.

A Sam Mulroy goal in the third quarter brought Louth back into the reckoning after they trailed by 0-9 to 0-5 at the interval.

Wexford responded, though, as Cathal Devereux, Conor Carty, and Ben Brosnan landed important scores.
