Mark McHugh’s Westmeath side registered a superb victory over Meath in the Leinster Senior Football Championship quarter-final, running out 4-18-0-25 winners at O’Connor Park.
The Lake County came into this encounter off the back of a big win over Longford last weekend and they made a bright start.
The Kilcar native’s outfit led their neighbours by six points at the break courtesy of two majors from Matthew Whittaker and Shane Corcoran.
Their cushion was extended after the restart, with Robert Forde bagging a third goal of the afternoon for his side.
Robbie Brennan’s battled back to set up a grandstand finish in Tullamore however, a fourth goal on the hooter from Danny McCartan capped off a fine afternoon for Westmeath.
McHugh’s men will now face either Kildare or Laois in the last four of the competition.
