Meath booked a place in the O’Byrne Cup semi-final as their third round match with Laois ended in a draw.

An injury-time penalty from Kevin Ross had the Royals ahead by a point but Colm Begley levelled the game at Stradbally. 

But it was the Royals, who led by 1-10 to 0-10 at the break, who emerged from Group 3 courtesy of a superior scoring difference.
