Westmeath hand Martin starting berth for final
Westmeath boss Páidi Ó Sé has opted to throw rising talent Paul Martin the full-forward jersey for Sunday's O'Byrne Cup final against Meath.
Martin, 19, is the surprise inclusion in a line-up that is minus the considerable talents of International Rules star Dessie Dolan who is on the bench recovering from wrist and hamstring injuries.
The only other change to Ó Sé's all conquering line up is the inclusion of Donal O'Donaghue at the expense of Tom Stuart-Trainor at wing back.
Westmeath (SF v Meath): A Lennon; J Davitt, D Gavin, F Murray; D O'Donoghue, D Kilmartin, D Heavin; R O'Connell, D O'Shaughnessy; F Dardis, M Ennis, A Mangan; F Wilson, P Martin, D Glennon.
