Meath manager Cathal O Bric has revealed his starting line-up for this afternoon’s All-Ireland minor football championship final against Tyrone at Croke Park.

The team is unchanged from last weekend’s 2-14 to 2-9 semi-final victory over Sligo and sees Ratoath’s Liam Kelly captaining the side from full-back.

John O’Regan is named at centre half-back while Paul Wilson and Jack Kinlough once again start together at centre-field.

Sean Emmanuel resumes his post on ‘the 40’ while Oisin O Murchu of St Colmcille’s leads the attack from full-forward, flanked by Christian Finlay and Hughie Corcoran.

The Royals will be lining out in their first Tom Markham Cup decider since losing out to Dublin in 2012, with hopes of capturing their first title in 29 years.

Throw-in at headquarters is at 1pm.
