Meath travel to King & Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park on Saturday evening at 18:00 for the Round 2 meeting with Roscommon in the GAA Football All-Ireland Championship and the team named is unchanged from that which lined out against Cork last weekend.
Saturday’s game will mark the fifth ever meeting between the sides in the Championship and the first since 2009, with Meath having won all four previous encounters.
The game will mark Mathew Costello’s 60th appearance for Meath and it will also be the 60th Championship appearance for Donal Keogan.
It is also set to see Ronan Ryan make his 25th Championship appearance after he returned to the side last week and a 45th for Bryan Menton.
Lining out between the uprights on Saturday evening is Billy Hogan and he will have the same full back line in front of him as a week ago with Seamus Lavin, Seán Rafferty and Ronan Ryan once more linking up.
The half back line and midfield also have a very settled look with Donal Keogan, Seán Coffey & Ciarán Caulfield linking up in the defensive line and Jack Flynn once more partnering Bryan Menton in the middle of the field.
Just as it was last week, the half forward line is an all Dunshaughlin affair as Conor Duke lines out alongside Ruairí Kinsella and Mathew Costello.
The inside line sees team captain Eoghan Frayne joined once more by Jordan Morris and James Conlon.
