Sheridan returns to fold for Meath
Four players will make their NFL debuts for Meath in Sunday's Div 2 clash with Kildare at Pairc Tailteann, while there are also returns to the starting line-up for two others including Brian Sheridan who haven't featured in the past few years.
Donaghmore/Ashbourne goalkeeper Jack Hannigan gets the nod to start between the sticks despite Paddy O'Rourke's return to full fitness, while Dunboyne's Shane McEntee, Ratoath's Cian O'Brien and Dunderry's Paddy Kennelly will all start a league game for the first time.
Seneschalstown's Brian Sheridan will make his first appearance since making one O'Byrne Cup start in 2013, while Alan Forde also returns to the starting line up.
