Full-forward vacancy for Offaly

Offaly have left a vacancy at full-forward in their team for Sunday's Leinster SFC quarter-final clash with Kildare (Croke Park, throw-in 4.00pm).

Pascal Kellaghan is currently recovering from a bout of 'flu but the Rhode clubman is expected to be fit enough to start at number 14.

Kellaghan has sat out training for the past week and a half.

Offaly boss Kevin Kilmurray has made two changes to the side that saw off Westmeath in the first round.

Paul McConway, at right half-back, and left half-forward Trevor Phelan both come in for their championship debuts, replacing Kevin Lynam and John Reynolds respectively.

Tullamore clubman McConway made his senior bow in the O'Byrne Cup in January.

The winners of Sunday's game will play Meath or Wexford in the semi-finals on June 18.

OFFALY (SFC v Kildare) - P Kelly; G Rafferty, S Sullivan, N Grennan; P McConway, S Brady, K Slattery (capt); C McManus, A McNamee; C Quinn, N Coughlan, T Phelan; T Deehan, AN Other, N McNamee.
