LOUTH HAVE NAMED their side for tomorrow’s Allianz Division 3 football league final against Tipperary, with four changes from the team that saw off the Premier when the counties clashed a fortnight ago in Semple Stadium.

Anthony Williams comes in at corner-back, Andy McDonnell is brought in at midfield while captain Adrian Reid and Ryan Burns bag starting places in attack.

Kurt Murphy, Dean Maguire, Conor Martin and Sam Mulroy are the players to make way.

That 0-16 to 0-12 victory in Thurles sealed Louth’s promotion to Division 2 and they fielded a much-changed side for their final round league game last Sunday against Sligo.

Meanwhile, Tipp make two changes from the side that dramatically overcame Armagh last weekend.

Willie Connors comes in at corner back with Shane O’Connell switching to half-back. George Hannigan is the man to lose out.

And in the forwards, there’s a like-for-like alteration with Ardfinnan’s Colm O’Shaughnessy replaced at corner forward by Emmet Moloney.
