Cassidy carries late delight for Derry with damage time support of scores
An intense complete from Derry, which included two gigantic scores from Brian Cassidy in damage time, was sufficient to defeat Meath in sensational design at Trim.
Trailing 3-14 to 3-12 after the hour, the Oakleafers reeled off the last four purposes of the diversion to win by two and advance to the current year's All Ireland Under 21B last.
Richie Mullan top scored for the champs, hitting 1-7, with the Kevin Lynch's man finding sufficient help from Brian Cassidy, Darragh Cartin and Corey O'Reilly.
Substitute Cian Rodgers, with 1-5, top scored for Meath with Daithi McGowan and Mickey Mullen scoring the other objective for the Royals.
Daithi McGowan's objective, rebuffing a protective howler from Derry, was the last activity of the main half, yet it was especially the guests' opening 30 minutes. Objectives from Brian Cassidy in the tenth moment and Richie Mullan before long, backboned an intense half from Collie McGurk's men who drove 2-7 to 1-5 at the break.
"We controlled the primary half," said Derry director Collie McGurk.
"Shane McGuigan had a great amusement there. Yet, even in the second half I was so pleased with the players for the way they combat when it was going the other way and the diversion was away for us.
"They hung in and they hung in and got us over the line."
The second half observed Meath slowly reeled Derry in. Effect sub Cian Rodgers was the impetus for the Royals' recovery, slamming home their second objective in the 31st moment.
Furthermore, when Mickey Mullen scored a third straight after, it gave the home side the lead without precedent for the match at 3-6 to 2-8 in the 36th moment.
Derry recuperated through the free-taking precision of Richie Mullan and a Darragh Cartin objective, and with five minutes to go the groups were level at 3-12 each.
A Jarlath Ennis seemed to give Meath the high ground in the home straight, yet gigantic focuses from Slaughtneil men Shane McGuigan and Brian Cassidy brought late, late happiness for the Oakleafers.
"We blew ourselves out a small piece in the main half," clarified supervisor Collie McGurk after the emotional win.
"Also, Meath went ahead solid with three brisk objectives. The amusement appeared to leave from us. Yet, the fellas indicated character.
"The subs that went ahead did for us and gave us that small piece of edge when we required it most."
Alluding to the ongoing sad loss of player Aodhan O'Donnell, McGurk finished up: "Meath are a decent side.
"They're Joe McDonagh standard and it's a decent scalp to take considering what we've experienced this most recent couple of weeks."
