MEATH HAVE NAMED the same starting side that defeated Galway in the All-Ireland quarter final, as they face Donegal in Croke Park on Sunday at 4pm (RTÉ 2).
The only change is a positional one, with Matthew Costello starting at full forward, and Keith Curtis going to wing forward. Meath’s bench is also unchanged.
The Royals come into this game on the back of a 2-16 to 2-15 quarter-final win over Galway. This is their first All-Ireland semi-final since their loss to Cork at the same stage in 2009.
