Louth v Meath live score updates from the Leinster final
For the first time since Joe Sheridan's infamous goal for Meath against Louth 15 years ago, a county that isn't Dublin will lift the Delaney Cup today.
The Wee County and the Royals clash again and with very little to split them in the betting, it should be a very close decider.
The action gets under way at 4.15pm, with RTE Two showing the game live. Their action begins half an hour before throw-in.
Here are the teams:
Louth: N McDonnell, D Nally, D Campbell, D McKenny, C McKeever, P Lynch, C Lennon, T Durnin, A McDonnell, P Matthews, C Downey, C Grimes, K McArdle, S Mulroy, R Burns.
Subs: T Markey, L Jackson, A Williams, E Carolan, C Byrne, D McDonnell, D Corcoran, C Branigan, C Keenan, D McKeown, B Duffy.
Meath: B Hogan, S Lavin, S Rafferty, B O'Halloran, D Keogan, S Coffey, C Caulfield, B Menton, J Flynn, C Duke, R Kinsella, K Curtis, M Costello, J Conlon, E Frayne.
Subs: S Brennan, S Walsh, R Ryan, A O'Neill, D McGowan, C O'Sullivan, J McEntee, R Jones, A Lynch, E Harkin, C Hickey.
Crowds gathering around the top of Jones's Road ahead of the Leinster football final. More than 60,000 expected to attend.
Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for this massive Leinster Senior Football Championship final clash between Louth and Meath.
Over 60,000 will be in attendance for this afternoon's decider between the neighbours and it should be another cracking 'Battle of the Boyne'.
A win for Louth would mark a record-breaking 68-year gap between Leinster football titles, and they're carrying a level of expectation into this final that wasn't present during their last final showdown with Meath in 2010.
Their consistent appearances in the Leinster final and regular victories over Meath in League and Championship games have set them on a trajectory towards a provincial title. This brings its own pressure and plays into Meath's hands.
However, Louth have proven themselves worthy of trust.
We'll bring you all the build-up and action right here over the next few hours.
