Wexford boss Paul McLoughlin has named three debutants in his starting 15 for tomorrow's Leinster SFC first round meeting with Laois.

Making their championship bows against the O'Moore County at Innovate Wexford Park are wing-backs Glen Malone (Shelmaliers) and Shane Doyle (Ballyhogue) and full-forward Nick Doyle (Starlights).

Malone's older brother Brian is set to make his 150th competitive appearance for the Model County having been chosen to start in midfield beside team-captain Daithi Waters.

Kildare native McLoughlin has ran the rule over 20 new players during his first season in charge and there are lots of potential debutants on the bench.
