Moynalty come into this game with the favourites tag following an impressive group campaign which saw them finish up with maximum points while Cortown slipped up against Kilmainhamwood which was the only blip they experienced during the group stage.
Having dropped down from the Junior A Grade, Moynalty who are now managed by last years Meath Minor manager Derek O’Brien are looking to bounce back at the first time of asking but will need to be at their very best this evening against a strong Cortown side who are coming in off the back of a confidence boosting quarter final victory last Sunday over Boardsmill.
Cortown could be boosted by the return from injury of corner forward Davy Rispin who is named on the replacements bench and were he to feature he would be coming into a forward line which is led by Theo Staunton at centre forward.
Team captain Paul Lynch will as ever be a key member of the Moynalty forward line while Adam Reilly will be expected to claim his fair share of primary possession around the middle third.
