Interim Offaly hurling boss Joachim Kelly has made six changes to the side that lost heavily to Westmeath for tomorrow's crucial Joe McDonagh Cup third round clash with Antrim in Tullamore.

Kelly has brought four new faces into his squad and one of those, Kilcormac/Killoughey's Peter Geraghty, goes straight into the team at wing forward. Cillian Kiely, Shane Kinsella, Aidan Treacy, Paddy Murphy and Kevin Connolly are also drafted in. Following defeats to Laois and Westmeath, the Faithful County desperately need a win to stave off the threat of relegation to the Christy Ring Cup.

Offaly (SH v Antrim): Eoghan Cahill; Ben Conneely, Dermot Shortt, Pat Camon (captain); Cillian Kiely, Shane Kinsella, Mark Egan; Aidan Treacy, Paddy Murphy; Colin Egan, Joe Bergin, Peter Geraghty; Shane Dooley, Oisin Kelly, Kevin Connolly.
