Offaly manager Declan Kelly has kept faith with the team that edged out Wexford last week for this evening's Leinster U20FC semi-final against Westmeath at TEG Cusack Park.

Senior panellists Cathal Donoghue and Jack Bryant are included in attack, while Ballinagar's Morgan Tynan has recovered from a head injury to partner Ed Cullen at midfield. John Furlong, grandson of legendary goalkeeper Martin, starts again at centre back, just 15 days after he lined out at the same venue for the Offaly minors in their agonising 2020 Leinster final defeat to Meath. 

The local derby clash will see Declan Kelly come up against St Loman's half back Enda Gaffney, who he manages at club level.

Offaly (U20FC v Westmeath): Sean O'Toole; Fionn Dempsey, Kieran Dolan, Lee Pearson; Rory Egan, John Furlong, Aaron Brazil; Ed Cullen, Morgan Tynan; Ciaran Egan, Cathal Flynn, Cathal Donoghue; Cormac Delaney, Jack Bryant, Aaron Kellaghan.
