Meath travel to Portlaoise on Sunday afternoon to take on Laois in a top of the table clash in Division 2 of the Allianz Hurling League and ahead of that encounter, Johnny Greville and his selectors have made one change to the starting XV that lined out a week ago in Mayo.
Tickets for Sunday’s game are available from selected SuperValu/Centra stores or via the link: Meath vs Laois Tickets
The tickets are priced as follows:
- Adult – €10
- Student/OAP – €8
- Children U-16 – Free
That solitary change to the side sees Joey Cole coming back into the side in the middle of the field as an indirect replacement for Sean Doyle who drops to the replacements bench.
Conor Leavy who was forced off injured against Derry will miss out once more as Anthony Healy who replaced him last week once more lines out at left corner back alongside Jarlath Ennis and Sean Geraghty with Gavin King manning the goalkeeper position.
Team captain Daire Shine will once more line out at centre back and he will be flanked by Noah Conroy and Simon Ennis.
The returning Joey Cole will be partnered in midfield by Lorcan O’Connor who retains his place in the side after coming into the team a week ago.
As a result of the reshuffle which has seen Cole come into the side, Eoin Donegan moves from midfield to left half forward and he is joined there by Darren O’Higgins on the opposite wing and Mark Leavy at centre forward.
Mikey Cole will line out on the edge of the square with Tom Shine at top of the right and Lorcan Byrne at left corner forward.
There are smaller numbers on the replacements bench this week with twenty-four players named on the panel.
