Meath manager Mick O'Dowd has decided to keep faith with the same starting fifteen for Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final clash against Dublin at Croke Park (throw-in 6.35pm).

The Royals will renew their great rivalry with the Dubs in the provincial last four at HQ and O'Dowd opts to stick with the side that overcame Louth a fortnight ago.

Darragh Smyth, Alan Douglas, Cian O'Brien and Cillian O'Sullivan keep their places after making their debuts in the 0-20 to 1-13 quarter-final defeat of the Wee County.

Donnacha Tobin also retains his spot despite being substituted early last time out at Parnell Park but Conor McGill, Brian Power and James McEntee remain injured.

Meath (SFC v Dublin): Paddy O'Rourke; Donnacha Tobin, Donal Keogan, Mickey Burke; Darragh Smyth, Padraic Harnan, Alan Douglas; Harry Rooney, Cian O'Brien; Graham Reilly, Cillian O'Sullivan, Eamon Wallace; Dalton McDonagh, Andrew Tormey, Mickey Newman.
