Ahead of the Allianz Football League Division 2 Round 4 game against Cork on Sunday at 14:00 in Páirc Uí Rinn, Meath manager Robbie Brennan and his management team have tweaked the team selection by making a solitary change to the starting line-up from the side which started against Louth last Saturday in Croke Park.
Conor Duke who came on as a half time substitute against Louth is named to start this week and he comes in as a replacement for Cian McBride who reverts to the replacements bench.

For the fourth game in succession there is no change in personnel from goalkeeper out to midfield as Seán Brennan continues between the uprights in goals and he will once more have Seamus Lavin, Seán Rafferty and Brian O’Halloran in front of him in the full back line.
Seán Coffey will anchor the defensive effort from centre back and the Ballinabrackey clubman will have Donal Keogan and Ciaran Caulfield either side of him manning the wing back berths.
The settled nature of the selection continues in midfield where Bryan Menton and Jack Flynn will link up for the eleventh Allianz Football League game in a row.
The returning Conor Duke is in line to make his twentieth appearance in the senior side at right half forward and he will link up with his fellow Dunshaughlin teammates Ruairí Kinsella and Mathew Costello in the half forward line.
Aaron Lynch who was a late addition to the XV last week, retains his place in the side and he will line out at top of the left wearing the number fifteen jersey as Eoghan Frayne pushes inside to full forward with Jordan Morris lining out at right corner forward.
