One change as Meath prepare to face Kildare

The Meath team to face Kildare in Saturday's Christy Ring Cup semi-final at Trim (2.30) will see one change as Kildalkey's Derek Doran returns in place of Kilmessan's Darren Reilly.

Doran comes into the team at corner-forward with stephen Morris reverting to midfield where he will partner Sean Heavey. Captain Steven Clynch continues at centre-forward with former Meath footballer Caoimhin King lining out on the wing.

Meath will be marginal favourites to book a final date in Croke Park on Saturday 7th June by virtue of their 1-21 to 0-19 extra-time win over Kildare in the Kehoe Cup final earlier this year.
