13.14 – We’ll have the teams for you shortly but it’s worth reminding you how both teams got here.

Having lost their respective provisional finals, Mayo unexpectedly sent Tipperary packing at the quarter-final stage.

Meath dramatically overcame Tyrone 2-12 to 1-14 in their quarter-final thanks to a late goal by Stephen Coogan.

13.27 – We’re almost read for throw in at Croke Park.

As usual, we’d love to hear from you so feel free to get in touch with predictions, comments or observations.

13.46 – Mayo 0-04 – Meath 0-00

Despite Meath having the better possession, it’s Mayo who find themselves four points up. This time through Shane Hennelly who made the most of a mistake by Meath goalkeeper Robert Burlingham.

13.49 – Mayo 0-04 – Meath 0-01

Meath are finally on the board after 17 minutes thanks to a long range free from Fiachra Ward.

Fans of the Leinster team will hope that score settles them down.

14.13 – For those of you who like to keep track of this sort of thing, here are the scorers:

Mayo – 1-07: Diarmuid O’Connor (1-0), Eoghan Lavin (0-2), Sean Regan (0-1), Stephen Coen (0-1), Shane Hennelly (0-1), Patrick Durcan (0-1), Adam Gallagher (0-1)

Meath – 0-06: Jason Daly (0-2), Fiachra Ward (0-1), Pauric Harnan (0-1), James McEntee (0-1), Cillian O’Sullivan (0-1)

14.20 – Mayo 1-10 – Meath 0-06

James Quinn points for Mayo with the goal at his mercy.

Still, if Meath don’t wake up soon, this game will get away from them.

14.26 – Mayo 1-10 – Meath 0-08

Meath finally realise the second half is under way with two points in succession after spurning yet another goal chance.

The images are starting to hit the wires from Croke Park.

This one caught my attention:

14.46 – Meath 2-10 – Mayo 1-10

For the first time in the game, Meath take the lead and what a time to finally score a goal through substitute P Kennelly

The 60 minutes are up, and Mayo have just imploded here.

14.54 – The penalty changed the game. It looked harsh but the game should have been out sight before then.

Mayo failed to score for nearly 30 minutes in the second half and it’s that, rather than poor refereeing, their supporters should be focusing on this evening.

That’s it from me for today, thanks for the company and be sure to tune in for coverage of the Senior game which begins at 3.30pm.
