Stephen Brown and Michael Cordial have been given the chance to revive their inter-county careers by Offaly hurling boss Joe Dooley.

Dooley has added the pair to his squad ahead of the Leinster SHC quarter-final clash with Antrim on May 30. Brown's Birr team-mate Mark Quinlan and the Seir Kieran duo James Mulrooney and Dermot Mooney have also been drafted in as injury continues to sideline Ger Healion (broken finger), Daniel Currams (broken thumb) and Brendan Murphy (recovering from a back problem).

All five featured as substitutes in last Sunday's challenge match win over Clare in Lusmagh and will get the chance to impress again in challenge games against Carlow tonight and Dublin on Saturday.

Brown and Cordial were members of the last Offaly team to win a Leinster MHC title in 2000 and subsequently starred for the senior side before fading from the scene in recent years. Tweet
