The Lilies came up short away from home against Dublin in a game, originally fixed for Parnell Park, that was shoved into the wild winds of O'Dwyers GAA in Balbriggan. The fixture boiled down to chances missed, referee debates and, most of all, who could manage the conditions.

The game can purchased to stream live on StreamSport.ie.

Meath produced a superb performance in Dungarvan last time out to beat previously perfect Waterford by two points. The side are led by Kildare native Wayne Freeman and sit on two wins and two losses from their four league outings to this point.

The standings are far less perilous for the visitors at the weekend, but, based on previous encounters while manager of Clare, Freeman will be highly-motivated and looking to get one over on his home county.
