Laois manager Justin McNulty has named his team for Sunday's tricky Leinster SFC opener against Longford at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park.

Portlaoise's Conor Boyle and Ballylinan's Gary Walsh are included in an experienced side that features 2003 Leinster SFC winners Ross Munnelly and Padraig Clancy in the full forward line. John O'Loughlin partners Brendan Quigley at midfield, while there is no place for former captain Padraig McMahon, who recently returned to the panel.

Laois (SF v Longford): D Culliton; C Healy, K Lillis, P O'Leary; D Strong, S Julian, C Boyle; J O'Loughlin, B Quigley; K Meaney, B Sheehan, C Begley; R Munnelly, P Clancy, G Walsh. Tweet
