Reilly handed debut for Newbridge challenge

After making a plethora of changes for the NFL Div 2 North loss to Mayo, Meath manager Andy McEntee has reverted to a more settled side for Sunday's promotional play-off clash with Kildare in Newbridge, 1.45pm.

McEntee has made just one change from the side that started the win over Down in Armagh with Gaeil Colmcille's Fionn Reilly selected for a first start having recovered from injury to take a place in the half-back line at the expense of Eoin Harkin.

James McEntee is an interesting addition to the 26-man panel as he has missed all the games so far because of injury, while Mickey Newman, who impressed in his cameo against Mayo, is retained on the matchday squad.

Meath - Andy Colgan; Seamus Lavin, Conor McGill, Cathal Hickey; Donal Keogan, Shane McEntee, Fionn Reilly; Bryan Menton, Padraic Harnan; Ethan Devine, Bryan McMahon, Mathew Costello; Jordan Morris, Thomas O’Reilly, Cillian O'Sullivan. Subs - Harry Hogan, Ronan Ryan, Eoin Harkin, Joey Wallace, Michael Newman, Eamon Wallace, Darragh Campion, Jason Scully, Brían Conlon, James McEntee, Jack Flynn.
