THE draw for the Tailteann Cup semi-finals was made on Monday morning with Antrim manager Andy McEntee set to face his native Meath.

Meath v Antrim

The semi-finals will be played at Croke Park on Sunday.

Down and Meath were kept apart in the draw after crossing paths earlier in the competition when the Royals came out on top, 1-11 to 1-9.

A Danny Magill goal sealed Down’s win over last year’s beaten finalists Cavan while an eighth goal of the season from Aghagallon’s Ruairi McCann helped keep Antrim’s impressive run going at home to Carlow.
