Crawford returns for final

Nigel Crawford returns to the meath starting line-up for Sunday's Leinster final.

Meath manager Eamonn O'Brien has made one change to his starting 15 from the side that demolished Dublin for Sunday's Leinster SFC final against Louth at Croke Park, 2.0.

Captain Nigel Crawford will return to midfield with Navan O'Mahonys' Mark Ward dropping to the bench. Ward's club mate Gary O'Brien is retained at centre-back, while Trim goalkeeper Brendan Murphy will remain in goals as Paddy O'Rourke serves out the last week of his suspension.

The Meath team for Sunday's final is Brendan Murphy; Chris O'Connor, Kevin Reilly, Eoghan Harrington; Anthony Moyles, Gary O'Brien, Caoimhin King; Brian Meade, Nigel Crawford; Seamus Kenny, Joe Sheridan, Graham Reilly; Cian Ward, Shane O'Rourke, Stephen Bray.
