Laois unchanged for Navan trip

Laois manager Mick O'Dwyer has made no alterations to the side that ended Tyrone's All-Ireland SFC fight for Saturday's third round qualifier against Meath (Pairc Tailteann, throw-in 6pm).

Dual player Darren Rooney has kept his place at full-back, while former Brisbane Lions recruit Brendan Quigley will continue in midfield alongside Noel Garvan.

Quigley's Timahoe colleague Padraig Clancy remains sidelined after the shoulder injury he picked up against Dublin last month.

Donie Brennan is down for bench duty again - former Kerry player Billy Sheehan continues in his role at right corner forward. The Emo clubman impressed with his 0-03 haul in the qualifier win over Tyrone last Saturday.

Laois won their last championship meeting with Meath - the 2004 Leinster semi-final - by 1-13 to 0-09. It was the O'Moore men's first victory over Meath since 1992, but they lost their National League duel in March by 0-13 to 1-11 in Navan.

LAOIS (SFC v Meath) - F Byron; A Fennelly, D Rooney, J Higgins; P McDonald, T Kelly, P McMahon; B Quigley, N Garvan; B McCormack, C Conway, R Munnelly; B Sheehan, B McDonald, G Kavanagh (capt).
