Laois boss Sean Dempsey had kept faith with the side that knocked out holders Mayo for Saturday's Cadbury's All-Ireland under 21 football final against Cork at Thurles. Team captain Cahir Healy is named at corner back, while senior star Brendan Quigley is at midfield. Donie Brennan, who isn't involved with Liam Kearns' senior squad at present, leads the attack while another player with senior experience, Michael John Tierney, is at top of the right as the O'Moore County goes in search of its first national under 21 title. Laois (21F v Cork): C Munnelly; C Healy, M Timmons, B Meredith; S Lawlor, J O'Loughlin, N Donagher; B Quigley, C Greene; C Rogers, D Brennan, S O'Leary; MJ Tierney, S O'Neill, D Conway. Tweet
