Meath hurling team for down game announced

Meath manager Martin Ennis has stood by the players who faltered against Armagh last Sunday for this Sunday's crucial NHL Div 2B game at Trim against Down.

Meath go into Sunday's game knowing that a victory will earn them a place in the final against Kildare despite last Sunday's defeat.

Meath finished with 13 players last Sunday following a spate of yellow cards in the second-half.

A victory against Down would be a huge boost and would provide an opportunity to gain promotion to Div 2A.

Meath - Charlie Bird; Cormac Reilly, Shane Brennan, Neil McLoughlin; Keigh Keoghan, Damien Healy, Shane Whitty; Eoin Marsh, James Toher; 

Stephen Morris, Gary Kelly, Alan Douglas; Jack Regan, Padraig Keogh, Willie McGrath.
