O'Connell not to start for Westmeath

Westmeath All Star Rory O'Connell, who secured a High Court injunction to enable him to take part in Sunday's Leinster football final, has not made the starting line-up for the provincial decider against Laois.

O'Connell was hit with a 12-week ban for allegedly stamping on Offaly's Pascal Kelleghan in a Leinster championship game, and went to the High Court after his appeals were turned down by the GAC and the Management Committee.
