Westmeath wing back Derek Heavin has experienced the wrath of Tomás Ó Flatharta by being dropped for Sunday's opening Leinster football championship match against Longford.
The veteran defender has been punished for breaking Ó Flatharta's rule of no player lining out for their club a week before a county game - Heavin played for Castledaly in a league tie against Mullingar Shamrocks on Sunday.
The rule was already tested and upheld earlier this season when Peter Tormey was dropped during the National League. Kevin Gavin from, ironically, Mullingar Shamrocks, makes his debut at left-wing back in place of Heavin.
A notable inclusion in the Westmeath line-up for the trip to the redeveloped Pearse Park is captain Dessie Dolan who has recovered from a shoulder injury to line out at centre forward.
Midfielder Martin Flanagan starts his first championship match since 2003 and he will be partnered by David O'Shaughnessy, who has recovered from injury.
