New Meath Senior Hurling manager Johnny Greville has announced his first Royal County match day panel prior to his first competitive outing in charge as Donegal come to Trim for the first round of the Allianz National Hurling League Div. 2 on Saturday afternoon.
Undoubtedly, the headline grabbing development is the return of the former team captain, Jack Regan, after what it can only be assumed was a self imposed exile, and the Kiltale clubman resumes his traditional role on the ’40’.
Elsewhere, Colm O’Riordan from county champions Ratoath gets his shot between the posts, as do Trim’s Ben Holden and James Cooke representing Kilskrye/Moylagh in defence, while there are also outings for Kilmessan’s Lorcan Byrne and Sean Corbett of Ratoath in attack.
Meath: Colm O’Riordan, Jarlath Ennis, Ben Holden, Domhnall Rogers, James Cooke, Daire Shine, Simon Ennis, Joey Cole, Kris Gorman, Lorcan Byrne, Jack Regan, Nicky Potterton, Seán Corbett, Cian Rogers, Mikey Cole.
Subs: Philip O’Brien, Cian Field, Darren O’Higgins, Evan Fitzgerald, James Kelly, James Toher, Kyle Donnelly, Mark Horan, Mickey Burke, Noah Conroy, Seán Doyle
