One change for Royals ahead of Derry trip

Adam O'Neill returns for the injured Ruairi Kinsella in the only change to the Meath side for Saturday's All-Ireland SFC round 2B clash with Derry in Celtic Park, 7pm.

Kinsella suffered an ACL injury at training last weekend and is expected to be out for up to 12 months.

O'Neill's return in Kinsella's absence forces a number of positional changes with Mathew Costello trusted with the centre-forward role as Jordan Morris reverts to his more accustomed corner-forward position.

Ciaran Caulfield vacates his usual number seven jersey to line out at wing forward, while James Conlon starts for the second game in success following his seven point return in the disappointing loss to Cork in round one three weeks ago.

Meath - Sean Brennan; Seamus Lavin, Sean Rafferty, Ronan Ryan; Donal Keogan, Bryan Menton, Sean Coffey; Cian McBride, Adam O'Neill; Charlie O'Connor, Mathew Costello, Ciaran Caulfield; Jordan Morris, James Conlon, Eoghan Frayne. Subs - Billy Hogan, Brian O'Halloran, Killian Smyth, Cathal Hickey, Jack Flynn, Jack O'Connor, Ronan Jones, Keith Curtis, James McEntee, Conor Duke, Aaron Lynch. Stand-by - Jamie Murphy, Adam McDonnell, Diarmuid Moriarty, Jason Scully.
