Clancy to miss Laois championship opener

Laois midfielder Padraig Clancy is expected to miss tomorrow night's Leinster SFC quarter-final clash with Wicklow - despite being included in the midlanders' starting line-up.

Laois boss Liam Kearns pencilled the Timahoe clubman into his side but he now looks set to miss the game as an ankle injury continues to dog him.
