Meath unchanged for kildare test
After all the excitiment of retaining the Kehoe Cup last week it is onto the business of trying to secure promotion from NHL Div 2B for Meath this Sunday when they open their campaign with a tough test at home to Kildare in Trim at 2.0.
Manager Martin Ennis has named the same 15 that started that controversial Kehoe Cup final win over Wicklow with Anthony Healy again charged with leading the line against the Lilywhites.
Captain Sean Heavey will be partnered at midfield by Blackhall Gaels’ Stephen Morris, while Kilmessan’s Shane Brennan will continue at full-back.
There could well be more changes to the team before throw-in as Meath made seven changes to the starting line-up for the game against Wicklow and nine changes from the selected team for the previous game against Longford.
Meath - Charlie Bird (Boardsmill); Cormac Reilly (Navan O’Mahonys), Shane Brennan (Kilmessan), Shane Whitty (Blackhall Gaels); Eoin Marsh (Kilmessan), Keith Keoghan (Killyon), Padraig Keogh (Kildalkey); Stephen Morris (Blackhall Gaels), Sean Heavey (Kildalkey); Patrick Conneely (Kildalkey), James Toher (Trim), Gary Kelly (Kildalkey); Jack Regan (Kiltale), Anthony Healy (Longwood), Willie McGrath (Moylagh).
