Meath name unchanged team for Leinster final against Dublin

Meath are unchanged for their Leinster SFC final tilt at Dublin's provincial dominance in Croke Park tomorrow.

Royals boss Andy McEntee has kept faith with the starting line-up from the 3-13 to 0-11 semi-final victory over Laois just under a fortnight ago.

James Conlon made a big impression at full-forward on his full championship debut, scoring five points from play, and is rewarded with a starting slot as Meath prepare for their first Leinster final since 2014.

Dublin's only defeat in the provincial championship since 2004 was at the hands of Meath in the 2010 semi-finals.

And the reigning All-Ireland champions are expected to progress straight to the Super 8s with their eighth straight Delaney Cup triumph.

Dubs boss Jim Gavin will announce his team today after deciding whether to bring Jonny Cooper, Dean Rock and Eoin Murchan back after the trio recovered from injury.

Gavin may decide to make some changes after criticising loose passing in the 15-point semi-final win over Kildare.

Rory O'Carroll could make his first competitive start for the county since his return home from New Zealand, while Bernard Brogan is also yet to feature in this year's championship.

MEATH: A Colgan; S Lavin, C McGill, S Gallagher; D Keogan, R Ryan, G McCoy; B Menton, A Flanagan; B Brennan, B McMahon, J McEntee; C O'Sullivan, M Newman, J Conlon.
