Offaly Make Three Changes For Cork Test As Fennelly Hopes For Bounce Back

Saturday, 12 February 2022 13:50

Michael Fennelly is also rotating his bench options.

Michael Fennelly has decided to make three changes as Offaly welcome All-Ireland finalists Cork to Birr tomorrow. 

Almost an entirely new trio will occupy the 65 as Brian Duignan and Liam Langton come-in. Eimhin Kelly moves out to midfield in the hope his motor will prove an effective foil to the rebel's mobility in that area of the field. 

Local sharpshooter Eoghan Cahill keeps his spot in the half-forward line, while David Nally comes in to the inside forward line. 

Adrian Cleary and Luke O'Connor drop to the bench as does Ross Ravenhill. 

It'll also be a fantastic occasion for Birr duo Rory Carty and Morgan Watkins who are among the replacements. 

Both sides enter this game in opposite trajectories but also at vastly different stages in their development. 

Michael Fennelly will be looking for a reaction from his players to the 4-22 they conceded to Galway last weekend, will he get one? 

Offaly XV:

Conor Clancy, Joey Keenaghan, Ciaran Burke, Jack Screeney; David King, Ben Conneely, Killian Sampson; Eimhin Kelly, Leon Fox; Brian Duignan, Liam Langton, Eoghan Cahill; John Murphy, Jason Sampson, David Nally. 

Subs: Stephen Corcoran, Paddy Delaney, Padraig Cantwell, Dara Maher, Rory Carty, Conor Butler, Adrian Cleary, Luke O'Connor, Eoghan Parlon, Paddy Clancy, Morgan Watkins.
