Five players to make debut as Walsh returns for Carlow

Carlow manager Luke Dempsey has handed five players their first Championship starts, while Thomas Walsh returns to the line-up for this Sunday's Leinster SFC opener against Wicklow at O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.

It will be Walsh's first Championship start for Carlow since 2006, with the Fenagh native transferring his allegiance to Wicklow the following year.
