Laois camogie manager John Desmond has named his panel for Saturday’s All-Ireland Intermediate Championship opener against Derry.
Laois face the Ulster side at 2.30pm in this Round 1 clash in O’Moore Park.
Laois will also face Kerry at home and play Tipperary’s second team in the group too.
Since winning their Division 2 relegation playoff against Dublin’s second team back in June, Laois have been active on the challenge match circuit with games against Kilkenny (intermediate), Carlow and Dublin.
Like Laois, Derry were also in a relegation playoff in the league (they won their semi-final game against Tipperary) while in last year’s championship they were beaten by eventual champions Down in the opening round before beating Kildare in the second round and then losing to Meath in the quarter-final.
In a competition that didn’t include the second teams of the senior counties last year, Laois beat Carlow in their opening game, lost to Down the next day, beat Kerry after extra time in the quarter-final and then lost to Antrim in the semi-final.
In order to reach the next stage, Laois must finish in the first two places in the group.
Check out the team below:
LAOIS: Aedin Lowry; Laura Finlay, Roisin Kilmartin, Katie Dunican; Alison McEvoy, Clodagh Tynan, Sarah Creagh; Jessie Quinlan, Alice Walsh; Cathy Galbraith, Aimee Collier, Sarah Cuddy; Aisling O’Dea, Grainne Hyland, Liaden C-Fennell.
SUBS: Roisin Dowling, Karla Whelan, Niamh Coss, Rachel Bergin, Jade Bergin, Luisne Delaney, Ellen Meagher, Enya Carroll, Meabh Deegan, Sarah Fleming, Grainne O’Reilly, Andrea Scully, Casey
Conroy, Laura Marie Maher, Chloe O’Riordan
