Meath hoping to topple Down

The green shoots of recovery are visible in Meath, who were big scorers throughout the group stages of NFL Div 3 and next Sunday in Inniskeen Grattans, Monaghan, 1pm, they will take on Down for a place in the final and a shot at promotion.
Meath's Vikki Wall is a forward who wouldn’t be out of place in any inter-county team in the country and she’s another player who recently pocketed a Gourmet Food Parlour O’Connor Cup medal.
It’s also encouraging to see Down in the semi-finals but they’ll have to come up a notch or two to compete with the Royals.
When the counties met at the start of the campaign, Meath ran out 4-13 to 2-2 winners but that was a wake-up for Down.
Granted, six of their group points came from Longford and Leitrim concessions but Down still managed to secure good wins against Offaly, Roscommon and Kildare on the field of play, and they were competitive against table-toppers Wexford.

Possible line-ups
Meath
: M McGuirk; K Newe, M Peel, S Powderly; E Troy, S Ennis, N Gallogly; M O’Shaughnessy, K Byrne; M Thynne, A Cleary, V Wall; N O’Sullivan, S Grimes, F O’Neill.

Down: A Burns; C Cunningham, O Boyle, L Morgan; C Laverty, R Torney, H Murray; D Doherty, C Mulvena; L Duffy, J Foy, A Keown; G McClean, K McKay, N Ferris.
