Gerry Buckley of the Westmeath Examiner looks at the Meath Champions.
The Downs will have to overcome a well seasoned and in-form Ratoath side this weekend if they're to book a Leinster Final place.
The Meath champions already have a midlands scalp to their name after beating Rhode in an ill-tempered affair in Navan last time out.
Lar Wall's Downs team were relatively comfortable winners against St Mary's Ardee in their quarter final.
Gerry Buckley of the Westmeath Examiner says Ratoath are playing well and have a good blend of experience:
