Justin McNulty names Laois team for Tailteann Cup semi-final against Antrim in Croke Park
Laois will be aiming to reach the decider on July 13
The Laois senior football team has been revealed ahead of Sunday's clash with Antrim at GAA HQ in the last four of the Tailteann Cup.
The team named shows one change from the one that was named against Kildare with James Kelly giving the number 2 jersey instead of Dylan Kavanagh although you would expect that Ben Dempsey and Eoin Lowry to start the game even though they're named to start on the bench. Both players had been chosen among the substitutes last week alongside James Kelly but all three players came into the starting 15 before throw-in.
Ballyroan-Abbey's Aaron McEvoy has taken the place of Dylan Kavanagh on the Laois 26-man panel for Sunday's game. Kieran Lillis and Rioghan Murphy both came off the bench against Kildare having been named to start so Justin McNulty has a very strong squad at his disposal as they go in search of reaching the Tailteann Cup final on Saturday, July 13.
The winners of Sunday's game will play the winners of Down and Sligo in the decider.
