WESTMEATH HAVE SHAKEN up their team for Sunday’s Leinster quarter-final against Galway in Mullingar while Laois have turned to youth for their clash with Offaly in Tullamore.
Manager Michael Ryan has brought five players in to the Westmeath team from the side that defeated Carlow in their last round-robin game a fortnight ago.
Goalkeeper Paddy Maloney, full-back Tommy Doyle, corner-back Tommy Gallagher, and midfielders Cormac Boyle and Eoin Price are all handed starting places.
Shane McGovern and Alan McGrath make way as do the U21 trio of Michael Heeney, Darragh Egerton and Niall Mitchell – who were all involved in a shock win over Kilkenny last week.
Meanwhile Laois manager Seamus ‘Cheddar’ Plunkett has handed out debuts to five U21 players for their game against Offaly.
Goalkeeper Enda Rowland, the wing-backs Leigh Bergin and Ryan Mullaney, midfielder Colm Stapleton and right corner-forward John Lennon are the players in question.
