Offaly call on captain

Offaly have included captain Karol Slattery in their side for Saturday's NFL Division 1A showdown with Dublin (Parnell Park, throw-in 7.45pm).

The Gracefield clubman will make his first appearance of the 2006 league after a period out with injury. Slattery replaces teenager Ross Connor in the Faithfuls defence - one of two changes from their loss to Mayo last time out.
