Sheehan in for Kavanagh in Laois line-up

Billy Sheehan will deputise for crocked Laois captain Gary Kavanagh in Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final against reigning champions Dublin (Croke Park, throw-in 2.00pm).

Kavanagh sustained a knee injury whilst playing for his club Stradbally last Friday week. A quick recovery and the ruling out of any cruciate damage gave the talented half-forward hope for a start this weekend but manager Mick O'Dwyer has decided to keep him in reserve.
