Laois Name Team For O'Byrne Cup Clash With Meath

Tuesday, 11 January 2022 17:50

Billy Sheehan continues to experiment with his lineup as expected.

Laois boss Billy Sheehan has named his team for their O'Byrne Cup game against Meath tomorrow.

Graiguecullen's Danny Bolger gets the nod between the sticks while experienced duo Kieran Lillis and Donie Kingston will make their first appearances of the campaign.

The O'Moore county are looking to bounce back from a heavy opening day defeat to Wexford where Sheehan used 26 players. A similar policy is expected here as he and his selectors test out different systems and combinations.

The game itself takes place under lights in Stradbally with a 7:30pm throw-in time.

Laois starting XV:

Danny Bolger - Graiguecullen
James Kelly - St Joseph’s
Trevor Collins - Graiguecullen
Alex Mohan - Portarlington
Sean O’Flynn - Courtwood
John O’Loughlin - Rosenallis
Gareth Dillon - Portlaoise
Kieran Lillis - Portlaoise
James Finn - Ballyfin
Brian Byrne - Graiguecullen
Paul Kingston - Arles-Killeen
Paddy O’Sullivan - Portarlington
Mark Barry - O’Dempsey’s
Evan O’Carroll - Crettyard
Sean Moore - Ballyfin
