Meath v Cork LIVE score updates from All-Ireland football series clash
Hello and welcome to our coverage of this first round All-Ireland encounter between Meath and Cork, which takes place in Navan this afternoon. The game is NOT on television or on GAA+, and isn't available to view anywhere, but we'll keep you up to date with minute by minute posts, featuring all the scores and every major incident as the game unfolds.
Cork have four wins out of six group games in the last two years of the All-Ireland series - and they'll be buoyed by their display against Kerry in the Munster semi-final, when they took them to extra-time. Sean Brady was red carded in that game for a tackle that was barely a foul and even more ridiculously, the Cork defender lost his case at hearing, so he is out of this one.
The biggest factor here though is how bad Meath's hangover will be from missing out on a massive chance to win a first Leinster title in 15 years when they were edged out by Louth in the decider a fortnight ago. A fresh injury for Ronan Jones is a blow. Jordan Morris may be able to play a bigger role here after his speedy comeback from injury, and a likely Sean Rafferty/Chris Og Jones battle will be key.
But none of this will matter if Meath's heads aren't there and the work rate drops. Cork will sense an opportunity here and with their power, pace and athleticism they should really test Meath's mettle and hunger for the fight. It's a huge game for both sides in a group that also features Kerry and Roscommon.

Most read in GAA Hurling 'Unfortunately' for the Exiles, they had to stay in Dublin another night. Derry beat London in the round robin stage but trailed London virtually throughout this time. Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - Devine's 13th minute goal put three between them at that stage and was expertly taken. Sean Glynn did the spadework with a powerful run through the centre before laying off to his left for Devine to volley home.

Cormac O'Doherty drilled a free at the goal but London cleared the danger and took the silverware.

British government must commit to Casement Park funding - O'Neill
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said the British government must deliver on its commitment to provide substantial funding to help rebuild Casement Park, the home of Antrim GAA, in west Belfast. British Chancellor Rachel Reeves is due to announce a comprehensive spending review next Wednesday and it's viewed as a pivotal moment for the plan to redevelop the stadium. The project has an estimated cost of £250m (€296.9m) and just under half is already in place, with the Irish government pledging around £43m (€51m), the Stormont Executive £62.5m (€74.2m) and the GAA £15m (€17.8m). The GAA held an event at Westminster today to lobby MPs ahead of the announcement next week. Ms O'Neill and her Sinn Féin colleague, north Belfast MP John Finucane, met the Northern Ireland Secretary of State in Belfast this morning. Speaking afterwards, Ms O'Neill said she had stressed the "political significance" of the project going ahead as well as what she said would be huge economic benefits. "This is something that's long overdue and I look forward to this day next week, whenever we actually see the outworkings of all of that, and will understand in more detail what it all looks like," she said. "Casement Park must be built, that remains my position. It's an Executive flagship commitment, it still stands as an Executive flagship commitment so the British government must find a way to honour its political commitment, put their money on the table and actually back a project that will bring enormous benefits to everybody. "The GAA is something to be celebrated , it's something that really celebrates diversity and something that really is at the heart of our community. This is a good thing, so let's now get on and get it done," she added.
