FOOTBALL: Louth v Tipperary- LOUTH WERE desperately poor against a Laois team that folded against Kildare, so failure to show some improvement should bring an end to Eamonn McEnaney's tenure in the Wee County.

JP Rooney comes in for Darren Clarke, but McEnaney has held off Aaron Hoey despite his 1-1 against Laois.No reason why Tipp cannot bring NFL and under-21 form into qualifiers, with the most notable change seeing goalkeeper Matthew O’Donnell starting ahead of Paul Fitzgerald.

LOUTH: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.

TIPPERARY: M O'Donnell; P Codd, C McDonald, C Higgins; C Aylward, H Coghlan, R Costigan; G Hannigan, K Mulryan; S Carey, P Austin, B Fox; B Mulvihill, B Coen, B Grogan.

Referee:S Doyle (Wexford).
