Willie Carry

One change for juniors

Drumbaragh's Willie Carry replaces Syddan's Kevin Traynor in the only change to the Meath team for Saturday's All-Ireland JFC final clash with Kerry in Portlaoise, 3pm.

Traynor picked up a knock in the All-Ireland JFC semi-final win over Kilkenny and misses out with Carry coming in as a direct replacement on the half-back line.

Meath senior hurling captain Damien Healy retains his place at centre-back despite the return of Joe Sweeney from holidays as manager Conor O'Donoghue keeps faith with the majority of the side that beat Kilkenny.

Dunderry's Stephen Coogan has to be content with a place on the bench despite making a positive impact as a half-time substitute against Kilkenny.

Kevin Ross picked up a knock in Nowlan Park, but has trained over the last couple of weeks and takes his place at centre-forward.


The Meath team for Saturday's All-Ireland JFC final clash with Kerry is Johnny Lynch (Moynalty); Adam Lynch (St Colmcille's), Luke Moran (Trim), Michael Flood (St Brigid's); David Toner (Curraha), Damien Healy (Longwood), Willie Carry (Drumbaragh); Adam Flanagan (Clonard), Conor Farrell (Dunderry); Neil Shorthall (Curraha), Kevin Ross (Castletown), Cathal McConnell (Bective); James Conlon (St Colmcille's), Daire Rowe (Syddan), Ben Brennan (St Colmcille's).
