Three changes for crucial clash with Louth

Meath manager Andy McEntee has made three changes from the side that started the NFL Div 2 loss to Cork for Sunday's trip to Drogheda to take on Louth in the penultimate game of the campaign.
After returning between the posts for the loss to Cork David Gallagher drops back to the bench with Donaghmore/Ashbourne's Andy Colgan restored to the number one position.
Brían Conlon makes way with Adam Flanagan returning at midfield, while in a reshuffle Brian Power loses out with James McEntee dropping back to wing back and Eamon Wallace coming back into the starting 15.
Mickey Burke, who was replaced after 31 minutes against Cork, reverts back to corner-back with Donal Keogan moving to centre-back to fill the void left by Power.
Surprisingly there is still no place for Meath's top scorer in the league Padraig McKeever, while Harry Rooney must also be content with a place on the bench.
Whether or not this is the team that starts remains to be seen as the side that started against Cork showed five changes from the one that was unveiled just over 24 hours earlier, so more changes can be expected as Meath look to boost their chances of avoiding relegation with victory over their neighbours.


Meath (v Louth) - Andrew Colgan; Seamus Lavin, Conor McGill, Mickey Burke; James McEntee, Donal Keogan, Shane McEntee; Bryan Menton, Adam Flanagan; Eamon Wallace, Ben Brennan, Graham Reilly; Cillian O’Sullivan, Thomas O’Reilly, Donal Lenihan.
