SHANE O’ROURKE — son of legendary Meath star Colm — will make his first championship start for the Royal County at full forward in tomorrow’s All-Ireland SFC qualifier against Down.

Michael Ellard and Brendan Larkin

O’Rourke is one of four changes to the side which lost out to Dublin after a replay. Seamus Kenny has recovered from a hamstring problem to reclaim his wing back spot from Stephen MacGabhann.

The other three changes are in attack with John Donegan, O’Rourke and Brian Farrell all starting. The players out are Cian Ward, Joe Sheridan and Graham Geraghty, the latter two no longer panellists.
