Meath have rung the changes for the Allianz Hurling League Division 2 Round 5 meeting with Mayo on Saturday afternoon with three players coming into the side that started in last week’s victory over Derry in Trim.
Coming into the side for the trip into the west are Anthony Healy at left corner back, Lorcan O’Connor in midfield and Seán Doyle who will line out at left corner forward. Making way are Conor Leavy who was forced off injured towards the end of the first half against Derry, Joey Cole and Damien Healy.
Tickets for the game on Saturday are available from selected SuperValu/Centra stores or via the link: Meath vs Mayo Tickets
The tickets are priced as follows:
- Adult – €10
- Student/OAP – €8
- Children U-16 – Free
In addition to these changes in personnel, there are a host of positional switches as Johnny Greville and his management team freshen up their selection.
Gavin King who has both scored and saved a penalty in recent games will continue in goals and as a result of the injury picked up by Conor Leavy, he will have a new look full back line in front of him as Jarlath Ennis switches from left corner back to right corner back, Sean Geraghty moves back from left wing back to full back and Anthony Healy comes into the side in the left corner.
Team captain Daire Shine moves out from full back to man the centre of the defence and he will be flanked by Noah Conroy and Simon Ennis who pushes out from centre back to left wing back.
There is also a fresh look to the midfield pairing as Eoin Donegan is this week partnered in the centre of the pitch by Lorcan O’Connor.
Youth is the order of the day in the half forward line where Mark Leavy will lead the attack from centre forward with Darren O’Higgins and Tom Shine operating on the flanks.
Lorcan Byrne who was named at centre forward a week ago will this week line out at full forward and he will have Mikey Cole and Seán Doyle operating either side of him at right corner forward and left corner forward respectively.
