Champions Dublin romp to 25-point win... but they're still eliminated from Leinster MFC

It will be Laois v Meath and Kildare v Wicklow in this year’s Leinster MFC semi-finals.

DUBLIN’S REIGN AS Leinster minor football champions is over despite a 25-point win against Westmeath this evening.

Wicklow’s shock win against the Dubs last week meant that they were in the driving seat in the race for Group 1′s runner-up spot.

And they upheld their end of the bargain with a two-point win over already-qualified Meath in the final round of games, 1-10 to 1-8, eliminating Dublin in the process.

Their reward is a trip to Newbridge on Saturday where they will play Group 2 winners Kildare, who extended their 100% record with a comfortable nine-point win over Longford.

The Lilywhites’ 1-18 to 0-12 win means that it is Laois — who had a bye this evening –  who qualify as Group 2 runners-up and will now host Meath in O’Moore Park on Saturday.

Tuesday night’s other game in Group 2 saw Wexford beat Carlow by a point, 1-11 to 1-10, in their dead rubber.
