Fresh from the opening round victory over Derry last weekend, Meath have gone for minimal change ahead of the Allianz Football League Division 2 Round 2 fixture away to Cavan on Sunday.
James Conlon who returned to the match day panel ahead of the expected timeline last week, comes back into the starting XV for the first time since the GAA Football All-Ireland Championship Round 2 game against Roscommon. Conlon will line out at full forward, as an indirect replacement for Adam O’Neill.
Tickets for the game are available from the below Super Valu/Centra stores or via the link: Meath vs Cavan Tickets
After being a late addition to the starting XV last weekend, Seán Brennan will continue between the uprights and he will have the same full back line in front of him as Seamus Lavin, Seán Rafferty and Brian O’Halloran combine once more.
The half back line is along familiar lines with Donal Keogan and Ciaran Caulfield occupying the wing back berths and Seán Coffey holding down the centre back position.
Fresh from landing seven points a week ago, Jack Flynn is once more partnered at midfield by Bryan Menton.
There is an all Dunshaughlin look to the half forward line as Conor Duke, Ruairí Kinsella and Mathew Costello combine, Costello pushing out from the full forward position he was named in for the Derry game.
James Conlon who returns to the side, will line out on the edge of the square, with Jordan Morris and Eoghan Frayne occupying the corner forward positions.
