Fay ‘open-minded’ about midfield role for Meath

DARREN FAY is in two minds about his latest Meath assignment, having been named in an unaccustomed midfield role for tomorrow’s O’Byrne Cup semi-final date with Offaly.

Fay, 27, is recognised as perhaps the best full-back in the game but mid-January is a time for experiment and the big Trim man will try his luck in the middle third after shaking off a tiresome ankle strain.

All going to plan, he could just solve a problem that has been troubling Meath since the retirement of John McDermott, but Fay is realistic about his chances.
