Wexford and Laois name teams ahead of All-Ireland football qualifier

Michael O’Regan is the only new face for Wexford as Aidan O’Brien keeps the faith.

WEXFORD AND LAOIS have both named their starting teams for the All-Ireland football Round 2A Qualifier at Wexford Park on Sunday.

Tiarnan Rossitor drops out of Wexford’s half-forward line to make way for Michael O’Regan of An Gleann-Baile Bearn. That change aside, Aidan O’Brien has kept faith in the players who were beaten by Dublin on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Laois have brought Robbie Kehoe into their half-back line instead of Darren Strong. Kevin Meaney comes into midfield, with Conor Meredith moving up the pitch to join Billy Sheehan and Stephen Attride in the half-forward line.

Ross Munnelly, Donal Kingston and Niall Donoher will spearhead the Laois attack, which fired 1-19 against Fermangh in the last qualifying round.

Throw-in at Wexford Park is at 2.00pm on Sunday.
