Six changes for Saffron hurlers

Beleaguered Antrim have made six changes and a number of positional switches as they bid to stave off relegation to the Christy Ring Cup against Laois on Saturday (Páirc Tailteann, Navan, throw-in 3.30pm).

Both counties' top flight All-Ireland SHC status is on the line in the relegation final. The Saffrons are slight favourites for the drop, having lost their last four outings, including a qualifier - 1-16 to 0-21 - to the midlanders earlier this month.
