Westmeath unchanged for Offaly clash

Westmeath manager Tomas O'Flatharta has kept faith with the 15 players who started last month's first round win over Longford in his selection for tomorrow's Leinster SFC quarter-final clash with Offaly in Tullamore (throw-in 6.30pm).

Westmeath, buoyant after their NFL Division 2 success, failed to impress in the 2-10 to 1-10 victory over Longford.

The very same starting line-up will take to the O'Connor Park pitch tomorrow however, as they look to dispose of Division 4 champions Offaly.

Left half-back Damien Healy and left corner forward Dessie Dolan have recovered from their respective injuries to be listed in the side.

Dolan was a late call-up for the Longford game, coming in for stomach bug victim Dermot Bannon, who claimed the man-of-the-match award in the Division 2 final win over Dublin.

Martin Flanagan and Donal O'Donoghue continue their midfield partnership, with David Duffy, who has been battling with an ankle injury, providing back-up on the bench alongside Bannon.

Westmeath beat Offaly by 0-11 to 0-10 during the 2004 championship on the way to winning their only Delaney Cup to date.

The winners of tomorrow's game will play either Dublin or Louth in a Leinster semi-final on June 29.

WESTMEATH (SFC v Offaly) - G Connaughton; F Boyle, K Gavin, J Keane; M Ennis, D Heavin, D Healy; M Flanagan, D O'Donoghue; F Wilson, J Smyth, D Harte; A Mangan, Denis Glennon, D Dolan.
