Westmeath Shock Meath in Leinster
Manager Mark McHugh hailed his players' resolution as they slayed their long-time nemesis to reach the Leinster semi-finals.
Meath appeared shell-shocked by Westmeath's intensity, failing to find a response as the underdogs built a commanding second-half lead.
The result is being described as one of the biggest upsets in the province's recent history.
Westmeath will now face Kildare in the next round as they look to continue their historic championship run.
