Right corner back Gerry Sheridan has lost his battle against time and a dislocated finger to be ready for Sunday's Ulster senior football championship clash against Monaghan in Clones, and under-21 defender Rory Donohue is given the nod. It is the only change from the team that beat Down and manager Val Andrews hopes it remains that way despite late Sunday morning fitness tests scheduled for right full forward Micky Graham and full forward Jason Reilly.

Sean Boylan, under pressure because of a litany of injuries, has had to concede his team will not be announced until this evening, at the earliest.

"We have a rake of injuries and I would never be prepared to have one team printed and a different one taking the field" said the Meath boss.

Still recovering are Hank Traynor, Nigel Crawford and Ollie Murphy (all hamstring), and ankle-victims Cormac Murphy and Ian McManus. John McDermot, meanwhile, will be sidelined with a toe injury for at least six weeks.

Peter Forde will name his team to meet Carlow tonight and has to plan without Rory Brennan, who is likely to be replaced by Kieran Quinn. David Durkin is doubtful because of an ankle injury.

Limerick SF

Limerick's senior football selectors have decided to leave well enough alone by naming the same team for Saturday's clash with Westmeath as that which started against Kerry last Sunday.

Limerick (SF v Westmeath): A Kitson; T Stack D Sheehy M O'Riordan; C Mullane S Lucey D Reidy; J Stokes J Quane; S Kelly J Murphy M Reidy; M Gavin P Ahern C Hickey.
