Newman concern

All Star nominated forward Mickey Newman has emerged as Meath’s most serious injury concern ahead of their Leinster championship opener.

The Royal County’s top scorer so far this year is unable to train due to a groin injury that leaves him doubtful to make the June 15 clash with Carlow.

Newman was unable to play for Kilmainham in the intermediate club championship last weekend and didn’t feature in county challenges against Cork and Galway.
