Goalkeeper Robert Burlingham returns to the Meath team for the All-Ireland MFC semi-final at Croke Park on Sunday, 1.30. Burlingham replaces Jack Hannigan who has lost his battle for fitness ahead of the contest against the Connacht side. Both goalkeepers have been in contention for the number one jersey this season. Otherwise the Meath team is the same that engineered a shock result when they defeated Tyrone 2-12 to 1-14 at the quarter-final stage in Newry. The Meath team to face Mayo is: Robert Burlingham (Simonstown Gaels); Declan Smyth (Dunsany), Brian Power (Ratoath), Shane Gallagher (Simonstown Gaels); Conor Carton (Donaghmore/Ashbourne), Shane McEntee (St Peters Dunboyne/Kilbride), Seamus Lavin (St Peters Dunboyne/Kilbride); Padraig Harnan (Jenkinstown Gaels), Adam Flanagan (Clonard); Cillian O'Sullivan (Jenkinstown Gaels), Jason Daly (St Peters/Dunboyne/Kilbride); James McEntee (St Vincents/Curraha); Barry Dardis (Summerhill), Stephan Coogan (Dunderry), Fiachra Ward (Wolfe Tones).
