Laois star Cuddy to miss Dublin date

Laois hurling talisman David Cuddy has not been named to start against Dublin in Saturday's preliminary final.

Ironically, it was against the Dubs in the league that Cuddy broke his finger and he'll continue to miss out.

Rob Jones starts instead of Cuddy with Darren Rooney in at midfield for Robert Delaney.

Laois (SH v Dublin ): J Lyons; L Mahon, Packie Cuddy, P Mahon; C Cuddy, Paul Cuddy, M McEvoy; J Young, D Rooney; J Phelan, R Jones, E Maher; D Culleton, L Tynan, T Fitzgerald.
