Otherwise, it's an experienced-looking side for the Slaneysiders though Dermot Flynn plays in goal instead of the long-serving Damien Fitzhenry while Anthony O'Connell stays at corner-back after a solid Walsh Cup campaign.
Michael and Rory Jacob play at half-back and corner-forward respectively while Diarmuid 'Gizzy' Lyng is at wing-forward.
