Parnell Park again if a replay required

That's the directive from Leinster Council ahead of this Sunday's championship opener for manager Andy McEntee.

Derry referee Barry Cassidy will officiate at Sunday's game which has a 3pm throw-in with Louth seeking their first championship win over Meath since 1975 having lost nine times since then.

If Sunday's game goes to a replay, the winner of the replay will face Laois or Kildare a week later on Saturday 17th June.

Last year Meath defeated Louth by 0-20 to 1-13 in front of a crowd of 8,380.
