Meath boss Boylan makes two changes for Offaly date

Meath football boss Sean Boylan has made two changes to his side ahead of Sunday's O'Byrne Cup semi-final with Offaly - and Darren Fay's inclusion at midfield is the big surprise.

Fay, one of the game's top full-backs, will partner Nigel Crawford at midfield in one of two changes to the side that stuffed Longford by seven points last weekend.

Mark O'Reilly loses out in defence and John Cullinane is dropped from full-forward for Fay and wing-back Paddy Reynolds to return in a shuffling of the starting 15.

Meath (SF v Offaly): D Gallagher; S McGowan, A Moyles, D Curtis; P Reynolds, T O'Connor, S Kenny; N Crawford, D Fay; R Magee, A Kenny, S McKeigue; B Farrell, N Kelly, J Sheridan.
