Offaly boss Kevin Kilmurray has named his side to meet defending champions Laois in the Leinster SFC quarter-final at Croke Park next Sunday.

Offaly take on Louth today in the opening clash of the 2005 Leinster football championship and even though the Faithful men are huge favourites to advance, the Wee County believe the form book will have no say in today's encounter at Pairc Tailteann, Navan.

Offaly make three changes to the side that lost to Dublin in the last round of the league for Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final clash against Louth in Navan.

Buccaneers will welcome back Connacht quartet Rowan Frost, Colm Rigney, Wayne Munn and Ted Robinson for their All Ireland league semi-final visit to Clonarf on Saturday.

An injury-time try from replacement scrum-half Conor O'Loughlin gave Buccaneers a bonus point that may turn out to be crucial as they pursue a top four finish in Div 1.
