Laois team named ahead of Leinster hurling championship opener
Laois will take on Wexford at 6pm this evening in Nowlan Park
Laois hurling manager Seamas 'Cheddar' Plunkett has named his starting 15 to take on Wexford this evening (Saturday) in the quarter final of the Leinster senior hurling championship.
The game throws in at 6pm in Nowlan Park and it will be available to watch live on GAAGO.
While the team was named on Saturday morning, there are expected to be a number of positional changes before throw in and possibly a change in personnel also.
Mark Kavanagh, Eric Killeen, Ronan Broderick, Podge Delaney, Diarmuid Conway and John Lennon will all miss the game through injury but on the positive side, there are starts for Ryan Mullaney, Stephen Maher, Willie Dunphy and Cha Dwyer who all had their injury problems during the league.
Should Laois pull off an upset and defeat Wexford, they will play Kilkenny in a Leinster semi final while defeat would mean a tussle with the losers of Dublin and Antrim in the qualifiers which will also double up as a relegation play off with the loser of that being demoted to the Joe McDonagh cup for 2022.
