Butler takes chance on Paul Cuddy

Laois boss Paudie Butler has taken a chance on the injured Paul Cuddy and named the centre-back to face Wicklow in Monday's championship opener against Wicklow.

Cuddy's brother David will definitely miss out but Paul has been named despite a couple of broken toes.

Laois (SH v Wicklow): J Lyons; L Mahon, Packie Cuddy, R Delaney; C Cuddy, Paul Cuddy, M McEvoy; J Young, R Jones; J Phelan, P Mahon, E Maher; B McCormack, L Tynan, T Fitzgerald.
