Meath are set to host Kerry this weekend in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship as the round-robin stage reaches its second round of fixtures. Here's everything you need to know about Meath v Kerry.
For Colm O'Rourke's Meath side, they will be looking to bounce back following a disastrous start to their Sam Maguire campaign. The Royals travelled to play their neighbouring Leinster rivals Louth in Inniskeen last time out.
A goal from Sam Mulroy combined with a brace from Craig Lennon within the space of 10 minutes in the first half saw the Wee County power to a 3-10 to 0-09 win, which was their first over Meath in the championship since 1975
In the Kingdom's case, they will be looking to continue their winning form following their win of the Munster championship. In their first round-robin fixture, Kerry hosted Monaghan in Killarney, with Jack O'Connor's side cruising to victory with a final score of 0-24 to 0-11.
