Meath manager Mick O'Dowd has been forced into making five changes for Sunday's Division Two football league clash with neighbours Louth.

Seamus Kenny, David Larkin and Brian McMahon come in for the injured Mickey Newman, Eoghan Harrington and Sean Curran.

Paddy O'Rourke makes way for Conor McHugh in goal, while David Bray comes in at corner forward for Dalton McDonagh.

The Royals are currently third in the Division 2 standings, behind Donegal and Monaghan. In contrast, Louth are bottom of the table.
