In advance of Saturday evening’s Allianz Football League Division 2 Round 6 encounter with Tyrone, Robbie Brennan and his management team have opted to show faith in the same starting XV that lined out against Kildare a fortnight ago.
Tickets for the game on Saturday which throws in at 17:00 in Croke Park are available from selected SuperValu/Centra stores or via the link: Meath vs Tyrone Tickets
Seán Brennan who kicked 5 late points in the Round 5 victory over Kildare will once more continue between the uprights and after making his return two weeks ago, Seán Rafferty will line out at full back with Seamus Lavin and Brian O’Halloran occupying the corner back berths.
The evergreen Donal Keogan takes his regular berth at right half back and the Rathkenny man is joined in the half back line by Seán Coffey at centre back and Ciaran Caulfield at left half back.
The familiar midfield pairing of Bryan Menton and Jack Flynn continues in situ and after coming into the side as late additions against Kildare, Jack O’Connor and Adam O’Neill will continue in their wing forward roles with Ruairí Kinsella at centre forward.
Team captain Eoghan Frayne will continue at full forward and he is flanked by Jordan Morris at right corner forward who is in line to make his 60th appearance and Aaron Lynch.
