After a much needed break of two weeks between fixtures, Meath manager Seoirse Bulfin has made just the one change to the starting XV for the visit of Tyrone to Páirc Tailteann on Saturday from the side which defeated Derry in Owenbeg in Round 3 of the Christy Ring Cup. James Toher misses out through suspension, with Seán Geraghty coming in as a direct replacement to anchor the defence from centre back.
Mickey Burke who was a late addition to the starting lineup in Owenbeg continues at right corner back in an unchanged full back line with Shane Brennan once more minding the square at full back and Brendan McKeon completing the line. Either side of Geraghty in the half back line will be Niall McLarnon and Simon Ennis while Pa Ryan and Martin Healy continue together at midfield.

The forward sextet from Owenbeg remains unchanged with the potent half forward line of Padraig O’Hanrahan, Jack Regan and James Kelly complimented by their inside line of Seán Quigley, Éamon Óg Ó Donnchadha and Nicky Potterton. On the substitutes bench there is a welcome addition to the match day panel of James Murray who continues on his recovery from injury.
