Laois manager Seamus Plunkett has named his starting line-up for this evening's Allianz Hurling League Division 1 relegation play-off against Westmeath at MW Hire O'Moore Park, with Matthew Whelan indirectly replacing the injured Stephen Maher.

The Borris-Kilcotton clubman, who is playing his 15th consecutive season with the county, comes in at full-back in the only change to the side that pushed Waterford all the way in the All-Ireland qualifiers before succumbing to a 3-23 to 2-21 defeat.

Laois (Allianz HL Division 1 v Westmeath): Enda Rowland; Donnchadh Hartnett, Matthew Whelan, Sean Downey; Podge Delaney, Ciaran McEvoy, Jack Kelly; James Keyes, Fiachra C Fennell; Paddy Purcell, Willie Dunphy, Ciaran Collier; PJ Scully, Charles Dwyer, Ross King.

Subs: Paul Simms, Liam Senior, Frank Flanagan, Ryan Mullaney, James Ryan, Aaron Dunphy, John Lennon, Ciaran Comerford, Eoin Gaughan, Liam Delaney, Ciaran Byrne.
