ARLES-KILLEEN CLUBMAN Paul Kingston will make his senior championship debut for Laois against Carlow at Netwatch Cullen Park on Saturday.

The U21 corner forward is named alongside brother Donie, who’s back from suspension, in the O’Moore County’s inside line.

Brendan Quigley, who skippered New York in 2014, will make his first championship start for Laois in two years.

Paul Begley is the only Laois injury concern with a hip problem as they prepare for the visit to their neighbours.

The game has a 7pm start on Saturday evening and the winners will play Kildare in the Leinster SFC quarter-finals.
