Launch of the Leinster Senior Championships 2014
Wexford and Longford name teams
Longford and Wexford have named their teams for Saturday's Leinster GAA Football Championship quarter-final at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park (7pm).
The big news for Longford is that defender Barry Gilleran has recovered from injury and takes his place in their team at full-back.
His inclusion in place of Barry O'Farrell is the only change manager Jack Sheedy has made from the side that lined out in the 0-19 to 0-15 first round win over Offaly on May 18.
Wexford are making their first appearance of the 2014 Championship on Saturday night.
Remarkably, the sides meet for the fourth time in the Championship since 2012, having clashed in Round 2 of the Qualifiers last year (Wexford 2-15 Longford 0-16) and twice in the Leinster quarter-final in 2012, with Wexford advancing after a replay.
They also met in a crucial Allianz Football League Division III game in April. Wexford won the Round 7 game by 1-15 to 2-10 in Wexford Park and managed to preserve their third tier status, but defeat for Longford meant they suffered relegation for the second year running and will play in Division IV next year.
The winners will play Dublin or Laois, who meet in Croke Park on Sunday, in the Leinster semi-final on June 29.
LONGFORD: Damien Sheridan; Dermot Brady, Barry Gilleran, Fergal Battrim; Colm P. Smith, E Williams, Shane Mulligan; John Keegan, Shane Doyle; Michael Quinn, Francis McGee, Paul Barden; Mark Hughes, Brian Kavanagh, Seán McCormack.
WEXFORD: Shane Roche; Robert Tierney, Graeme Molloy, Conor Carty; Michael Furlong, Brian Malone, Adrian Flynn; Daithí Waters, Paddy Byrne; Michael O'Regan, PJ Banville, James Holmes; Ciarán Lyng, Ben Brosnan, Kevin O'Grady.
