One change for Royals clash with Offaly

Aaron Lynch comes in for the injured Jack Kinlough for Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final against Offaly in Pairc Tailteann in the only change to the Meath team from the side that saw off Carlow last weekend.

Kinlough suffered an ACL injury against Carlow and will miss the rest of the season along with Jordan Morris.

However there was some positive news on the injury front for manager Robbie Brennan with Sean Coffey and Adam O'Neill returning to the panel for the first time since the NFL Div 2 games against Roscommon and Westmeath respectively.

Cathal Hickey is also included in the matchday 26 again having recovered from illness.

Cian McBride, James McEntee, Daithi McGowan and James Conlon are the four stand-by players should any of the 26 be forced to drop out before throw-in.

Meath will hope to see off NFL Div 3 champions Offaly, who include former Meath goalkeeper Brendan Murphy in their back room team, and set up a semi-final clash, most likely, against Dublin.

Meath team to face Offaly - Billy Hogan; Seamus Lavin, Sean Rafferty, Brian O'Halloran; Eoin Harkin, Donal Keogan, Ciaran Caulfield; Jack Flynn, Bryan Menton; Conor Duke, Ruairi Kinsella, Keith Curtis; Aaron Lynch, Mathew Costello, Eoghan Frayne. Subs - Sean Brennan, Sean Ryan, Ronan Ryan, Adam O'Neill, Sean Coffey, Shane Walsh, Diarmuid Moriarty, Thomas O'Reilly, Jason Scully, Cillian O'Sullivan.
