New Laois manager Peter Creedon has unveiled his starting fifteen to face Wicklow in the O'Byrne Cup at Greystones tonight (throw-in 7.45pm).

The side shows ten changes from the one that beat DIT in the opening round to ensure the Cork native got his reign as O'Moore County boss off to a winning start.

Out go Graham Brody, James Kelly, Denis Booth, Eoin George, Stephen Attride, James Finn, Cormac Murphy, Sean Ramsbottom, Brian Daly and Niall Donoher.

Donie Kingston, who shot 1-7 against the Dublin students on Sunday, switches to midfield with his brother Paul at left corner-forward.

Laois (O'Byrne Cup v Wicklow): Eoghan Keogh; Ciaran Lennon, Kieran Lillis, Gareth Dillon; Darren Strong, Alan Farrell, Colm Begley; Kevin Meaney, Donie Kingston; Jamie Farrell, Ambrose Doran, Matthew Campion; Ruairi O'Connor, Gary Walsh, Paul Kingston.
