Two debutants to start for Meath
Under-21 players Bryan Menton and Ciaran Lenehan will make their Championship bows for Meath as they begin their defence of the Delaney Cup against Kildare.
For Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final at Croke Park (throw-in 2pm), the young pair will join captain Seamus Kenny in the Royals' rejigged half-back line.
Navan O'Mahony's clubman Stephen Bray is back to make his first competitive start of the year for the Leinster champions. He comes in at right corner forward after some impressive displays in challenge games.
Jamie Queeney from Na Fianna will line out at wing forward in the only change in personnel to the Meath attack from last August's All-Ireland quarter-final loss to Kildare.
With the list of substitutes yet to be confirmed, manager Seamus McEnaney is keeping everyone guessing as to whether the recently recalled Graham Geraghty will be one of his bench options.
MEATH (SFC v Kildare): Brendan Murphy; Gary O'Brien, Kevin Reilly, Shane McAnarney; Seamus Kenny (capt), Bryan Menton, Ciaran Lenehan; Nigel Crawford, Brian Meade; Jamie Queeney, Shane O'Rourke, Graham Reilly; Stephen Bray, Joe Sheridan, Cian Ward.
