Offaly name unchanged team for Leinster SFC showdown

AS expected, Offaly have shown faith with the team that beat Longford for Sunday's Leinster Senior Football Championship quarter-final against Meath in Tullamore.

Offaly have named the same fifteen and the only change is a minor positional one with Lee Pearson selected at corner back and Ciaran Donnelly moving out to the half back line.

Tullamore's Aaron Leavy and Daingean's Shane Tierney are new additions to the subs bench. Leavy has been called in to bolster the midfield options as Offaly bid to upset Meath.

OFFALY: Ian Duffy (Walsh Island); Lee Pearson (Edenderry), Declan Hogan (Tullamore), David Dempsey (Ballycommon); Rory Egan (Edenderry), Peter Cunningham (Bracknagh), Ciaran Donnelly (Bracknagh); Jack McEvoy (Clonbullogue), Conor McNamee (Rhode); Cian Farrell (Edenderry), Ruari McNamee (Rhode), Anton Sullivan (Rhode); Dylan Hyland (Raheen), Nigel Dunne (Shamrocks), Jamie Evans (Gracefield). Subs – Corey White (Tullamore), Cian Donohue (St Brigid's), Bernard Allen (Tubber), Joe Maher (Ferbane), Jack Bryant (Shamrocks), Bill Carroll (Cappincur), Jack O'Brien (Durrow), Aaron Brazil (Shannonbridge), Aaron Leavy (Tullamore), Shane Tierney (Daingean), Shane O'Toole-Greene (Shamrocks).
