Fay winning fitness race for Royal rumble

Meath full-back Darren Fay is making good progress with a dead leg injury and should be fit to face Westmeath at Croke Park on Sunday.

The Trim defender picked up the injury in a recent challenge game but is believed to be making good progress.

However, there is bad news for Ollie Murphy and Nigel Crawford as both will miss the clash of the rivals.
