Longford have been forced into one change with Paul McKeon ruled out due to injury for tomorrow's Leinster SFC first round tie against familiar opponents Offaly at O'Connor Park, Tullamore.

McKeon picked up a shoulder injury in a challenge game versus Louth last week and manager Jack Sheedy has replaced the influential forty yards man with Shane Doyle. This is the only change to the side that lost heavily to Offaly - 4-16 to 1-12 - in the Allianz League Division 4 final last month.

Sheedy has handed championship debuts to Fr Manning Gaels' Paddy Collum in goal and right corner forward Ross McNerney from Dromard.

Longford (SF v Offaly) - Paddy Collum; Dermot Brady, Barry O'Farrell, Peter Foy; Colm P Smyth, Diarmuid Masterson, Enda Williams; Barry Gilleran, Kevin Diffley; Ronan McEntire, Michael Quinn, Shane Doyle; Ross McNerney, Brian Kavanagh, Francis McGee.
