LAOIS MANAGER Niall Rigney has made one change to for his side’s crucial National Hurling League Division Two clash with Wexford this weekend.

Camross’s Zane Keenan – who broke his leg playing against Kerry last year – will make his first start for Laois in more than a year at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise on Sunday afternoon.

John Rowney makes way for Keenan, with Rigney making several positional changes in a game in which the winner will surely qualify for the Division Two final.

In the same division, the Clare versus Westmeath game this weekend in Ennis has been switched from Sunday afternoon to Saturday – with a 12.45pm throw-in.
