Four changes for Offaly

Offaly manager Kevin Kilmurray has made four changes to his side for Sunday's All-Ireland SFC qualifier against Laois (Portlaoise, throw-in 4pm).

The fourth-round tie will see Cathal Daly, Mark Daly, Colm Quinn and James Coughlan all return to the Faithful's line-up.

1997 AllStar Cathal Daly replaces Scott Brady at centre-back, while Mark Daly is in for injured midfielder Alan McNamee (calf).

Damien Hunt makes way for Quinn in the half-forwards with Neville Coughlan switching over from the right flank to the left, while Doon's James Coughlan has got the nod at full-forward ahead of John Reynolds.

Laois have won the last two championship encounters between the sides in 2003 and 2005. A late goal from Ross Munnelly helped the O'Moore men to a 1-10 to 1-8 win last year.

Offaly will look to corner-forwards Thomas Deehan and Niall McNamee to torment the Laois defence this weekend, particularly former minor captain McNamee, who is his side's leading scorer this summer with 2-16 in four games.

OFFALY (SFC v Laois) - P Kelly; G Rafferty, S Sullivan, N Grennan; P McConway, C Daly, K Slattery (capt); C McManus, M Daly; N Coughlan, P Kellaghan, C Quinn; T Deehan, J Coughlan, N McNamee.
