The formerly-retired John McDermott has been recalled to the Meath side
that faces Dublin in Sunday's Bank of Ireland Leinster Football Final at
Croke Park.
He's placed at centre-field alongside Nigel Crawford, with Nigel Nestor
moving to right half-back to replace the suspended Paddy Reynolds.
The Skyrne star was slapped with an eight-week suspension by the Games
Administration Committee of the GAA on Thursday lunchtime following his
sending-off in the Leinster Semi-Final against Kildare.
Reynolds received a red card in the game against Kildare for an incident in
which Lilywhite star Ken Doyle was shown a second yellow - with the ban
backdated to June 26th, the date of the semi-final win.
For Dublin, despite some excellent stand-in performances, Stephen Cluxton
returns to the bench, with fit-again main choice keeper Davy Byrne
returning between the posts.
A vacancy has been left at centre-back, as Johnny Magee is an injury worry.
