Westmeath boss Colin Kelly has named his team to face neighbours Meath in Sunday's O'Byrne Cup final at O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.

There are returns for midfielder Ger Egan and talisman John Heslin but the influential duo are held in reserve as Kelly decides to make three changes to his starting 15.

John Rock replaces Boidu Sayeh in defence while Ger Leech and Jordan Marshment now occupy the wing-forward positions ahead of Alex Gardiner and Nigel Scally.

Ronan O'Toole, one of St Loman's leading lights in their run to last December's Leinster club SFC final, could make his Lake County senior debut off the bench.

Westmeath (O'Byrne Cup v Meath): Eoin Carberry; John Rock, Killian Daly, Mark McCallon; James Dolan, Sam Duncan, Noel Mulligan; Alan Stone, Denis Corroon; Ger Leech, Luke Loughlin, Jordan Marshment; Callum McCormack, Kieran Martin, John Egan.

Subs: Kevin Fagan, Jamie Gonoud, Boidu Sayeh, Frank Boyle, Ger Egan, Finbarr Coyne, Conor Slevin, John Heslin, Ronan O'Toole, David Whelan, Alex Gardiner, Gareth Carr, Nigel Scally, Sean Lyster, Ciaran Shanley, James Sheerin, Tom Molloy.
