Five changes for Westmeath boss Ó Sé

Paidi Ó Sé is obviously keen to assess the strength of his inherited panel having made five changes to his O'Byrne Cup side ahead of Sunday's quarter-final against Kildare.

Ó Sé has given call ups to Damien Gavin, David Kilmartin, Paul Conway, Alan Mangan and last weekend's super sub Joe Fallon for the Lilywhites clash.

Despite speculation Des Dolan, who missed the win over Louth, will not start and must be content with a place on the bench.

Westmeath (SF v Kildare): A Lennon; J Davitt, D Gavin, F Murray; T Stuart-Trainor, D Kilmartin, D Heavin; R O’Connell, D O’Shaughnessy; F Wilson, P Conway, A Mangan; J Fallon, J Conroy, D Glennon.
