Dublin, Laois and Kildare all make changes with Leinster minor semi-final spots on the line

The quarter-final clashes take place this weekend.

DUBLIN HAVE MADE two changes for tomorrow’s Electric Ireland Leinster minor football quarter-final against Longford, as they seek to build on their opening round win over Meath.

Darren Maher comes in at left corner-back while Darragh Conlon is named to start at left half-forward. Aaron Lynch and Daniel Brennan are the two players to make way.

There’ll be plenty attention on Dublin’s forwards James Doran and Ciaran Archer, who shot a combined total of 1-11 in their last game against the Royals.

Laois have made two alterations for their clash against Kildare with Cian Langford and John Rogers coming in at corner-back and wing-back respectively. Colin Slevin and Michael Dowling are the pair replaced here by manager Noel Delaney.

Kildare have brought in five new players for the match at O’Moore Park. Corner-back Lee Loughnane, Adam Cronin and Niall O’Connor both come in to the half-back line, Cian McQuillan gets a start at midfield and Jack Cully is introduced to the full-forward line.
