JOE SHERIDAN IS set to make his inter-county comeback tomorrow night for Meath but it will be in a new role as goalkeeper.
The former forward has been named between the posts by manager Andy McEntee for the O’Byrne Cup tie against Laois in Stradbally.
Sheridan last lined out for Meath in their 2013 All-Ireland qualifier loss to Tyrone.
The former forward was recalled to the Meath panel before Christmas with a view to being tried out between the posts.
Meath will be hoping to build on their victory over Wicklow last Sunday and Wednesday’s success against Dublin IT.
The winner of tomorrow night’s clash will progress to the semi-final stage on Sunday 22 January.

The way leinster have been playing, ulster have to be extremely confident about winning, as a leinster fan I’m seriously worried for next Saturday.
We’ll take it from here? The Ulster reserves against Munster have ensured that the 1st team have a big billing to live upto, not least of all a number of improved personal performances. The reserves pulled off the improbable against Munster that should be inspiration to the Senior players that have not yet done the same in the last 2 finals.
I heard the same last year and the year before but when it’s time to hand out the winners medals ulster just can’t seem to manage it.
As bad as Leinster are they win still best ulster.
This is a semi. No medals collected Saturday night. We’ve won two semis in last two years. Going of form Ulster should pip this one in a tight affair. Primarily because with Jackson having an outstanding season, our halfbacks are superior in what is otherwise a fairly even contest.
Tight yes, foregone conclusion no. Who could have forecast the sending off of Tom Court and Jared Payne? The squad that travels should take confidence from the reserves that broke the bad luck streak by doing the improbable at Thomond. Confidence and a return to form will break the bogey that is Leinster in the big games.
Should be very tight, Leinster are not in great form and Ulster should have nothing to fear going to the RDS. There is a nice prize for the winner a chance of a big cup.
I’ve a sneaking feeling Ulster could win this.Last match was a tight one between these two.
What the crack with Stephen ferris?
Is he injured again?
sprained his ankle(good ankle) a few weeks ago. That’s it as far as I know
*better. Theyre both dodgy
Cheers ken it’s a real shame
Fingers crossed he gets better before the summer tours with Ireland and he gets some much needed game time
