Wallace returns for Louth clash

Eamon Wallace returns to the Meath starting line up for Sunday's O'Byrne Cup semi-final clash with Louth at Pairc Tailteann (2pm) as manager Andy McEntee keeps faith with nine of the side that drew with Laois last Saturday evening.
Wallace is available for selection again following UCD's exit from the O'Byrne Cup and he will line-up at wing-forward with Paddy Kennelly moving to full-forward.
As well as Wallace's return there is also a starting spot for Jack Hannigan in goals, Alan Forde, Ruairi O Coileain, Sean Tobin and Dunboyne's Seamus Lavin who will also make his first appearance.
Out go Joe Sheridan, Mickey Burke, Conor Downey, Bryan McMahon and Cillian O'Sullivan who all drop to the bench, while there is no room in the matchday 24 for Donal Lenihan.
Conor McGill returns to the panel from college duty, while Mickey Newman will also feature for the first time from the bench as Donnacha Tobin continues to be sidelined with an arm injury sustained in the opening round win over Wicklow.
