The final proved to be a thrilling contest, with both sides battling fiercely for supremacy. Louth showed their resilience and skill throughout, matching Meath in every department. However, despite their best efforts, they fell agonizingly short, with Meath clinching a narrow 7-6 victory to seal the championship.
Although the result was disappointing, there was still plenty to celebrate for Louth, including the outstanding individual achievement of Damien Grimes, who emerged victorious in the singles event on Friday.
