Two changes for Meath hurlers

Meath hurling manager Nick Fitzgerald has made two changes in personnel and several positional swaps from the side that lost heavily to Kerry in Tralee a fortnight ago for Sunday's NHL Div 2A clash with Carlow in Trim, 1pm.
Adam Gannon and Neil Heffernan drop out of the full-forward line with Eoin Marsh and Anthony Forde coming into the starting 15 in their place.
Kilmessan's Marsh will wear the number 14 jersey vacated by Gannon, while Alan Douglas moves to corner-forward and James Toher to centre-forward to allow Forde come into the team at midfield.
Damien Healy and Darragh Kelly will exchange their number three and number six jerseys, while Keith Keoghan will move from his regular half-back role to join Forde at midfield in a direct swap with Joey Keena.
With their status in Div 2A already secured and nothing left to play for from this final game of the campaign Meath will be hoping to bounce back from the dreadful display in Tralee.
Carlow are still in the running for a place in the NHL Div 2A final and need to win, but Meath will hope for a positive performance ahead of the start of the Joe McDonagh Cup in the first weekend in May.


Meath - Shane McGann; Seán Geraghty, Damien Healy, Niall Weir; Joey Keena, Darragh Kelly, Shane Brennan; Anthony Forde, Keith Keoghan; Jack Regan, James Toher, James Kelly; Paddy Conneely, Eoin Marsh, Alan Douglas.
