Kieran McGeeney has opted to make four changes to his team ahead of their All-Ireland preliminary round clash against Laois on Saturday.
Aindriu MacLochlainn will be introduced at right corner-back, while there is a completely revamped full-forward line with Robert Kelly, Tomas O’Connor and Fionn Dowling.
Due to these changes, Morgan O’Flaherty will find himself starting at centre-back. Ollie Lyons has also been moved to left-half back, while Eamonn Callaghan will start the game at left-half forward.
Laois will make just one change to their starting line up for Saturday’s game at O’Moore Park.
Mark Timmins will take a starting place in defence ahead of Peter O’Leary, who has been ruled out of the game due to injury.
