Dessie Reynolds will make his full championship debut for Longford versus Carlow in tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers Round 1A at Pearse Park.

Reynolds scored two crucial points after coming on as a first half substitute in the 0-16 to 0-13 Leinster first round win over Offaly, and is rewarded with a starting place in attack.

Manager Jack Sheedy has made two changes to the team that was heavily beaten by Dublin in the Leinster quarter-final last time out with Reynolds filling in for Barry McKeon at left corner forward and Fergal Battrim taking over from Cian Farrelly in the full back line.

Longford (SF v Carlow) - Paddy Collum; Dermot Brady, Barry O'Farrell, Fergal Battrim; Colm P Smyth, Barry Gilleran, Diarmuid Masterson; Michael Quinn, Kevin Diffley; Peter Foy, Ronan McEntire, Rory Connor; Ross McNerney, Brian Kavanagh, Dessie Reynolds.
