Laois skipper Cuddy returns to face Offaly

Laois hurling skipper Dave Cuddy has been returned to the first team after suspension for Saturday's Leinster SHC clash with Offaly.

Cuddy missed the wins over Carlow and Meath. He slots back in midfield beside dual player Darren Rooney.

Rooney's inclusion means he'll have to play two inter-county games in less than 24 hours, with the footballers in action against Carlow on Sunday.

Elsewhere, there is just one other change to the side that beat Meath, with Canice Coonan back in the line-up, while Rob Jones and Enda Meagher lose out.

Laois (SH v Offaly): K Galvin; C Cuddy, Pat Cuddy, M McEvoy; J Fitzpatrick, Paul Cuddy, R Conroy; D Cuddy, D Rooney; C Coonan, J Young, J Walsh; T Fitzgerald, L Tynan, D Culleton.
