Antrim's Paddy Burke and Steven Clynch of Meath during the Christy Ring Cup final in Croke Park

Antrim have revealed their hand for the Christy Ring Cup final replay encounter with Meath at Croke Park on Saturday.

There are six changes from the clash three weeks ago with Eoin Gillan, Paddy Burke, Fergus Donnelly, Nigel Elliott, Sean McAfee and Benny McCarry all called up.

Sarsfields midfielder Niall McKenna notched nine points as they enjoyed a comfortable 3-28 to 0-14 victory over Derry in their Ulster opener last weekend.

Antrim (SHC v Meath): Eoin Gillan; Simon McCrory, Tony McCloskey, Paddy Burke; Odhran McFadden, Neal McAuley, Fergus Donnelly; Eoghan Campbell, Niall McKenna; Nigel Elliott, Eddie McCloskey, Sean McAfee; Conor Johnston, Benny McCarry, Ciaran Clarke.
