200th Appearance in store for Burke
200th Appearance in store for Burke

It promises to be a special occasion on Sunday in Longwood when the club plays host to a landmark game for their veteran player Mickey Burke as he lines out for the 200th time in a Meath jersey in the Dioralyte Kehoe Cup opening round encounter against Down.  For a record of Mickey’s football appearances, check the bottom of the article.

Burke will pull on the number four jersey as he lines out at left corner back for the game and there promises to be a huge crowd present at the game to witness the local hero on his big day.

 

Debutant Ronan Byrne and Ciaran Lonergan will join the hometown hero in the full back line with Jack Fagan lining out between the uprights behind them.  There is a welcome return to the fold at centre back of Shane Whitty and he will be flanked in the half back line by Simon Ennis and Kris Gorman.

 

The Shine twins both line out from the outset with Tom being joined in the middle of the field by Nicky Potterton while Daire is at centre forward where he is flanked by Eoin Donegan of Wolfe Tones and Seánie Martin of Na Fianna.

 

There is a potent look to the inside line which is made up of Mark Horan, James Kelly and Padraig O’Hanrahan.  Among the players on the replacements bench is Jack Walsh who is another to make a welcome return to the fold for 2024.

 

Entry on Sunday in Longwood is free.
