Osullivan to replace mcmahon for meath

Mick O'Dowd has given a shot at redemption to 14 of the team that lost out to Galway last Sunday by making just one change ahead of Saturday's NFL Div 2 clash with Kildare at Páirc Táilteann, 7.0.

Bryan McMahon is the one to drop out with Moynalvey's Mark O'Sullivan coming in at centre-forward. Stephen Bray will move to full-forward, with Mickey Newman lining out at corner-forward.

Fears that Donncha Tobin might miss out because of an injury picked up in the Galway game have proved to be unfounded and the Blackhall Gaels man will line up at corner-back.

O'Dowd has also resisted the temption to hand Eamon Wallace his comeback after almost 12 months out. The Ratoath flyer returned from a cruciate knee injury to feature for his club in last week's A FL games, but he won't be risked against Kildare.

Meath (v Kildare) – Paddy O'Rourke; Donnacha Tobin, Conor McGill, Mickey Burke; Padraic Harnan, Donal Keogan, Bryan Menton; Harry Rooney, Adam Flanagan; Graham Reilly, Mark O'Sullivan, Andrew Tormey; Joey Wallace, Stephen Bray, Mickey Newman.
