Offaly have returned to full-strength for the clash with Carlow in the Joe McDonagh Cup final in Croke Park on Saturday evening. 

Throw in for the game is 4.45pm at GAA headquarters. 

The Offaly side shows 12 changes from the side which was beaten by Carlow in the past fortnight. That memorable win over the Faithful county ensured a final berth for Carlow, at the expense of Laois, who beat Kerry, but also needed Offaly to win for them to reach the final.

Some of their bigger names return for Offaly tomorrow evening including Cillian Kiely and Eoghan Cahill. Fresh from captaining Offaly to the Leinster U20 title in Netwatch Cullen Park,  Charlie Mitchell will line out at corner-forward.

Offaly: S Corcoran; D Maher, C Burke, B Conneely; D King, J Sampson, K Sampson; S Bourke, D Nally; C Kiely, J Clancy, A Cleary; C Mitchell, B Duignan, E Cahill.
