Rooney returns for Louth

Louth's JP Rooney
JP Rooney replaces the suspended Darren Clarke in the Louth team for tomorrow's All-Ireland football qualifier against Tipperary in Drogheda. Rooney, who was introduced in the Leinster SFC quarter-final defeat to Laois, is named at top of the left in a side that shows one other change from that game. Alan Reid's inclusion at right half forward results in Ray Finnegan dropping back into defence and Padraig Rath making way. Manager Eamonn McEneaney has once again resisted the temptation to start veteran Aaron Hoey, who scored 1-1 after coming off the bench against the O'Moore County. Louth (SF v Tipperary): S Reynolds; M Fanning, D Finnegan, J O'Brien; R Finnegan, D Crilly, G Hoey; B White, P Keenan; A Reid, R Carroll, D Reid; C Judge, S Lennon, JP Rooney.
