Two changes for Meath as they brace themselves for local derby

The Meath team announced for Sunday’s crunch local derby against Louth shows two changes from that which was on duty against Armagh two weeks ago.

Trim’s Ciaran Caulfield returns at wing back in a straight swap with Michael Flood while, further up the field, Diarmuid Moriarity – who starred in UCD’s run to the Sigerson Cup Final – returns in the full forward line in an unfortunately enforced switch.

Team captain Ronan Jones forms a new midfield alliance with Cian McBride.

MEATH – S. Brennan; D. Keogan, A. O’Neill, M. Murphy; C. Caulfield, D. Campion, S. Coffey; R. Jones, C. McBride; D. McGowan, E. Frayne, J. O’Connor; A. Lynch, M. Costello, D. Moriarity.

SUBS – B. Hogan, M. Flood, B. O’Halloran, A. McDonnell, B. O’Reilly, R. Kinsella, C. Hickey, K. Curtis, S. Walsh, D. Dixon, D. Rowe.
