Plunkett keeps the faith

Laois manager Seamus Plunkett has named the same team for Saturday's All-Ireland SHC second phase qualifier against Clare in Ennis (throw-in 3pm) as the one which lost to Galway in the Leinster semi-final.
Plunkett has included Ballinakill clubman James Walsh in his starting line-up, despite fears that the midfielder would not play a part against the Banner men after breaking his toe in a freak accident at home.
