Laois senior football team named for Division 4 clash with Carlow as Lillis returns

Laois senior football manager Justin McNulty has named his team to take on Carlow in Division 4 on Saturday.

The side is the same one that defeated Longford and Wexford in the first two matches.

That is good news for Damon Larkin who was forced off against Wexford through injury but appears to have recovered to partner Conor Heffernan in midfield.

Once again, the changes for this game have come on the bench and there are three.

Portlaoise’s Conor Brown replaces St Joseph’s Aaron Cooney on the sub keeper spot.

Killeshin’s Eoin Lowry comes in for Stradbally’s Liam Knowles and for the first time, Kieran Lillis is back.

The Portlaoise man replaces St Joseph’s Cormac Murphy on the bench and will be in line for an appearance.

LAOIS: Killian Roche (Killeshin); Ben Dempsey (Portlaoise), Seamus Lacey (Ballylinan), James Kelly (St Joseph’s); Eoin Buggie (Stradbally), Mark Timmons (Graiguecullen), Brian Byrne (Graiguecullen); Conor Heffernan (Killeshin), Damon Larkin (Portlaoise); Kevin Swayne (Portlaoise), Niall Dunne (Courtwood), Shaun Fitzpatrick (Ballyroan-Abbey); Mark Barry (O’Dempsey’s), Evan O’Carroll (Crettyard), Niall Corbet (Clonaslee-St Manman’s)
