Rigney set for first outing with Laois

Niall Rigney, a former selector under previous boss Damien Fox, will have his first outing this afternoon as Laois' interim manager as the O'Moore men take on Galway in the All-Ireland SHC qualifiers (Pearse Stadium, throw-in 3.30pm).

Rigney, an inter-county player of high regard during the 1990s, has made one change to the Laois team that lost by 16 points to Offaly in the Leinster championship.
