Deehan debut on the cards for Offaly

Young star Thomas Deehan has been handed his senior debut by Offaly football boss Gerry Fahey ahead of Sunday's O'Byrne Cup clash with Wexford.

The Clara lad has been given the nod at corner-forward in a strong lineup that includes the likes of Ciaran McManus, Neville Coughlan, Pascal Kelleghan and Cathal Daly.

Regulars Roy Malone and Colm Quinn are not fit so Fahey has shuffled his deck and included call ups for Michael Flynn and Matthew Mitchell.

Offaly (SF v Wexford): K Meehan; B Mooney, C Daly, M Flynn; M Mitchell, G Rafferty, K Slattery; C McManus, A McNamee; C Farrell, P Kelleghan, N McNamee; T Deehan, N Coughlan, J Reynolds.
