Ó hAilpín and Kenny are rested for Leesiders' clash with Offaly
Ronan Curran, who missed last weekend’s narrow victory over Antrim, returns at centre-back with Cian O’Connor of Erin’s Own now taking over Ó hAilpín’s regular left half-back position.
John Gardiner makes his first appearance in the competition, taking over from Kenny in the middle of the field. Former dual minor star Kieran Murphy, of Erin’s Own, also makes his first outing in the competition. He is selected at left half-forward, with Seanie McGrath moving into the left corner-forward berth, to the exclusion of Eoin Fitzgerald. Offaly report no injury problems but won’t be announcing their team until tomorrow night.
