Laois move Fitzpatrick to full-forward

Laois boss Mick O'Dwyer has shifted defender Kevin Fitzpatrick up to full-forward for Sunday's Leinster SFC clash with Offaly.

Fitzpatrick is more accustomed to the centre and full-back positions but starts at full-forward in a surprise move.

Meanwhile, star forward Colm Parkinson is definitely out while Ross Munnelly is named in the starting lineup with Hughie Emerson on the bench.

Laois (SF v Offaly): F Byron; T Kelly, C Byrne, J Higgins; D Rooney, D Conroy, A Fennelly; P Clancy, N Garvan; R Munnelly, I Fitzgerald, M Lawlor; B McDonald, K Fitzpatrick, D Delaney.
