Westmeath manager Michael Ryan has kept faith with the team that hammered Antrim for Sunday's Leinster SHC round-robin meeting with Laois in O'Moore Park.

The Lake County made it two wins from two when accounting for the Saffrons by 17 points in Cusack Park a fortnight ago, and a win or draw this weekend would assure them of a home quarter-final against Offaly.

The likelihood is that they will still qualify for the quarter-finals if they lose.

Westmeath (SH v Laois): Shane McGovern; Shane Power, Tommy Doyle, Gary Greville; Aaron Craig, Aonghus Clarke, Alan McGrath; Cormac Boyle, Eoin Price; Niall O'Brien, Derek McNicholas, Robbie Greville; Alan Devine, Brendan Murtagh, Darragh Clinton.
