Donal O'Donoghue is back in the Westmeath side, after a spell out through injury, for Sunday's NFL Division 2B clash with Antrim
The 2004 All-star nominee came off the bench for the closing 16 minutes of last weekend's 0-15 to 1-09 win over Wicklow and came through unscathed.
O'Donoghue starts at full-back for the visit of the Saffrons with Michael Ennis moving to centre back, and Derek Heavin to left half-back with Daniel McDermott losing out.
In attack, James Nugent makes way with manager Tomas O'Flatharta making a number of positional switches.
Gary Dolan, brother of corner forward Dessie Dolan – who notched 0-11 against Wicklow, is drafted in at centre forward, Denis Glennon switches in to full-forward, PJ Ward goes to the right corner and Alan Mangan shifts back to right half-forward.
Westmeath (NFL v Antrim): Gary Connuaughton, James Davitt, Donal O’Donoghue, John Keane, Graham Dillon, Michael Ennis, Derek Heavin, David Duffy, David O’Shaughnessy, Alan Mangan, Gary Dolan, Paul Bannon, PJ Ward, Denis Glennon, Dessie Dolan.
