Laois field four for Leinster

Beaten provincial finalists Laois have four players in the Leinster squad for Sunday's M Donnelly inter-provincial semi-final against Munster in Portlaoise.

Manager Luke Dempsey has included Fergal Byron, Tom Kelly, Noel Garvan and Kevin Fitzpatrick, with Kelly's International Rules team-mates Ciaran McManus, Mattie Forde and Dublin duo Alan Brogan and Bryan Cullen also chosen.

Westmeath Allstar nominee Gary Connaughton replaces Dublin's Stephen Cluxton in the 25-man panel. His inter-county colleague Dessie Dolan is ruled out due to club commitments.

Munster, who are managed Kerry selector Ger O'Keeffe, Limerick boss Liam Kearns and Clare supremo John Kennedy, have yet to finalise their squad.
