The Laois senior football team to face Fermanagh in Round 3 of the Tailteann Cup on Saturday has been named.
Laois manager Justin McNulty has named the same 15 that was named to start against Wicklow in Round 2 – except for one.
Stradbally’s Eoin Buggie is out with a hamstring injury and his place in the official team has gone to James Kelly.
But the St Joseph’s man did start the game two weeks ago as a late change for Dylan Kavanagh who is named again at corner back.
Mikie Dempsey is named at midfield and Niall Dunne at corner forward – as was the case two weeks ago – but they were both replaced before throw in by Damon Larkin and Paul Kingston.
There are two changes to the bench with Clonaslee-St Manman’s Niall Corbet returning to the team in place of the injured Buggie.
While the other sees Aaron McEvoy take the number 26 jersey from Cormac Murphy.
The game throws in at 3.45pm in Longford and we will bring you live coverage on our blog.
