Meath to see it through

ALL-IRELAND SFC QUALIFIERS ROUND THREE: Meath v Roscommon: INFLUENZA WAS a problem in both camps in the past few days, forcing Roscommon manager Fergal O'Donnell to resist announcing a team until closer to throw-in.

Enda Kenny and Donal Ward have been added to the panel as David Keenan and Paul Gleeson are out but captain Gary Cox is expected to return.

Meath manager Eamonn O’Brien has made no changes and it should be enough to secure safe passage into round four where Munster runners-up Limerick are waiting.

Brian Farrell’s place was under threat, but he has been retained at corner forward alongside Cian Ward and the younger Bray brother, David.

This is a fixture Meath will relish having been knocked out of the qualifiers by Limerick last year. On form to date, they should progress with something to spare here.

MEATH: P O’Rourke; C O’Connor, A Moyles, E Harrington; S Kenny, C McGuinness, C King; N Crawford, B Meade; P Byrne, J Sheridan, S Bray; D Bray, C Ward, B Farrell.

ROSCOMMON: TBA.

Referee: J McKee (Armagh).
