The Longford team that will face Offaly in tomorrow's Leinster SFC clash at O'Connor Park has been revealed.

Denis Connerton's starting fifteen for his first championship game of his second spell in charge of the midlanders is much changed from the one that edged out Offaly at the same stage last season under Jack Sheedy.

Defender Andrew Farrell, midfielder Darren Gallagher and forwards James McGivney and Robbie Smyth are among the fresh faces added to the side that overcame the Faithful County at the Tullamore venue twelve months ago.

Longford (SFC v Offaly): Paddy Collum; Andrew Farrell, Barry Gilleran, Barry O'Farrell; Donal McElligott, Dermot Brady, Diarmuid Masterson; Michael Quinn, Darren Gallagher; Dessie Reynolds, James McGivney, Robbie Smyth; Barry McKeon, Brian Kavanagh, Paul McKeon.

Subs: Ciaran Garvey, Paul McGee, Michael Brady, Cian Farrelly, Brian Farrell, Colm P Smyth, Shane Kenny, Rory Connor, Mark Hughes, Larry Moran, Kevin Diffley.
