Meath manager Cillian Farrell has kept faith with the players who snatched a dramatic draw with Down in Trim last week for Saturday’s Christy Ring Cup semi-final replay in Ballycran, 3.0.
It is the third game in succession that the Meath manager has named an unchanged side as the same 15 who started the quarter-final extra-time win over Kildare and the initial semi-final clash with Down are retained.
Top-scorer Steven Clynch will once again lead the attack from midfield where he will be joined by Stephen Morris.
It was anticipated that Longwood’s dual star Mickey Burke might make the starting line-up following his impressive showing when introduced after 29 minutes of the original tie, but Farrell has opted to hold the Meath football star in reserve again.
The Meath team is - Shane McGann (Kiltale); Davy Donoghue (Kiltale), Damien Healy (Longwood), Cormac Reilly (Navan O’Mahonys); James Kelly (Kiltale), James Toher (Trim), Sean Heavey (Kildalkey); Stephen Morris (Blackhall Gaels), Steven Clynch (Kilmessan); Paddy Conneely (Kildalkey), Mark O’Sullivan (Kiltale), Eoin Marsh (Kilmessan); Barry Slevin (Na Fianna), Adam Gannon (Killlyon), Peter Durnin (Kiltale).
