No changes for u-21s - Game in Abbeylara

Meath manager Barry Callaghan will keep faith with the same 15 that started the semi-final win over Cavan for next Sunday's u-21 Hastings Cup FT final clash with Longford at Abbeylara.

There are a number of positional switches from the way the team was listed to start that 2-9 to 1-8 win over Cavan, but Callaghan has kept faith with the same personnel.

It was initially feared that Sean Meade would miss the final having hobbled out of the semi-final win, but it appears the Nobber man's injury is not as serious as it was feared and he has been named to start at wing-forward.

The Hastings Cup final will be perfect preparation ahead of Meath's Leinster u-21 Fc opener against Westmeath in Mullingar on Wednesday 22nd February.

Meath team to play Longford - Adam McDermott (Dunshaughlin); James Reilly (Gaeil Colmcille), Eoin Green (Skryne), Robin Clarke (Duleek/Bellewstown); James Mooney (Meath Hill), Daniel O’Neill (Wolfe Tones), Sean Noonan (Seneschalstown); Sean Reilly (Moylagh), Brían Conlon (Simonstown); Brian McGrath (Simonstown), Conor Moriarity (Curraha), Sean Meade (Nobber); Fionn Reilly (Gaeil Colmcille), Thomas O’Reilly (Wolfe Tones), David McLoughlin (Moynalvey).
