The Galway team to play Meath on Sunday in Navan in the Allianz League shows 3 changes from the side that beat Tyrone last weekend. John Daly returns to the half back line for Gary O'Donnell, Tom Flynn starts at midfield in place of Cein Darcy and Corofin's Martin Farragher starts at corner forward instead of Robert Finnerty. Farragher will make just his 4th appearance for Galway seniors, having come off the bench to score 1-1 in his inter-county debut last May as Galway beat Sligo at Markievicz Park to book their place in the Connacht final. He also came on as a sub late in the Connacht final defeat to Roscommon and started the qualifier defeat to Mayo in Limerick. Sunday will be his first league start.
