Eoghan Ruth will cover for the suspended Brendan Murphy in the Carlow midfield sector for today's All-Ireland SFC Qualifier meeting with Leitrim at Netwatch Cullen Park.

Eire Og clubman Ruth has been switched from wing-forward to the number nine position in a side that shows two changes in personnel from the one-point victory over London.

Shane Clarke has been handed the number ten jersey vacated by Ruth with Ciaran Moran drafted in at full-forward and Alan Kelly dropping to the bench.

Murphy was sent off for the second consecutive game as Turlough O'Brien's charges held out for a 0-13 to 0-12 win in Ruislip two weeks ago.

Carlow (All-Ireland SFC v Leitrim): Robbie Molloy; Chris Crowley, Shane Redmond, Conor Lawlor; Danny Moran, Daniel St Ledger, Gary Kelly; Sean Murphy, Eoghan Ruth; Shane Clarke, Darragh Foley, Sean Gannon; Paul Broderick, Ciaran Moran, John Murphy.
