Aidan O'Rourke makes three changes to his Louth XV to face Longford.

Conor McGuinness comes into the defence in place of Gerard Hoey, with John O'Brien switching from wing back to corner back.

Conor Rafferty is named on the 40, replacing the suspended Mark Brennan, who has departed the squad since his red card against Derry a fortnight ago.

And Derek Maguire comes into the attack, starting at right corner forward, with Ciaran Byrne moving to full forward and Shane Lennon missing out through injury.

Brain Donnelly has won his race against time to take his place in midfield but Paddy Keenan is not fit enough to make the starting team.

Louth (Division Two V Longford): Neil Gallagher; Padraig Rath, Dessie Finnegan, John O'Brien; Conor McGuinness, Derek Crilly, Adrian Reid; Ronan Carroll, Brian Donnelly; Andy McDonnell, Conor Rafferty, Brian White; Derek Maguire, Ciaran Byrne, Kevin Rogers. Tweet
