O’Neill shuffles the deck as Oak Leafers come to town

Meath senior Camogie manager Anton O’Neill has announced a much changed line up as his charges prepare to renew their rivalry in the Very Ireland NCL at Pairc Tailteann on Saturday afternoon.

The most noteworthy (and slightly disappointing) of the alterations sees the experiment of playing Dunboyne’s Maeve Clince at full forward dispensed with as the black and amber star switches from poacher to gamekeeper at the edge of the Meath square. Her spot at the other end of the field being assumed by Grace Coleman of Killyon.

Elsewhere, Kilmessan’s Rachel O’Neill moves to midfield to partner Amy Gaffney and that, in turn, sees Aedin Slattery relocated to wing forward with her Na Fianna clubmate Aoife Carey moving in off the wing to lead the Royal County attack.
