O’Reilly and Crawford back as Meath bid for win over Dubs

Michael Ellard

O’Reilly takes over his customary right full-back position with Crawford named at midfield. The five new starters are full back Kevin O’Reilly, left half back Cathal King, centre-forward Paddy Byrne, left half forward Stephen Brae and left corner forward Brian Farrell.

Altogether there are five changes from the side that lost to Monaghan in the Division 2 National League final and a total of eight changes from the team defeated by Fermanagh in last season’s championship qualifiers.
