Louth unchanged for second replay

Just like his Wicklow counterpart Mick O'Dwyer, Louth manager Eamonn McEneaney has named an unchanged team for Sunday's Leinster SFC first round replay at Croke Park (throw-in 2.10pm).

Just like his Wicklow counterpart Mick O'Dwyer, Louth manager Eamonn McEneaney has named an unchanged team for Sunday's Leinster SFC first round replay at Croke Park (throw-in 2.10pm).

Sunday's game is the third installment of what is fast becoming the 'saga' of the 2007 championship - Louth and Wicklow drew in their first two meetings, 1-11 to 0-14 at Croke Park on May 20 and 1-9 to 0-12 (after extra-time) at Parnell Park last Sunday.

McEneaney has been boosted by captain Peter McGinnity's commitment to the team. McGinnity cut short his honeymoon in Sorrento last week to play in the first replay and the combative centre-back has opted to delay the remainder of the honeymoon in order to help his county qualify for the Leinster quarter-finals.

Shane Lennon is set to start for the Wee men at full-forward, despite fears over the shoulder injury he sustained in extra-time last Sunday. Alan Page also resumes at right corner back, having recovered from a hamstring strain.

LOUTH (SFC v Wicklow) - S Reynolds; A Page, C Goss, J Carr; D Flanagan, P McGinnity (capt), R Finnegan; P Keenan, R Carroll; M Farrelly, M Brennan, M Stanfield; A Hoey, S Lennon, D Clarke.
