After a strong second-half showing against Waterford in the last round, a win that secured Division 1A action for 2027, Cahill has made numerous changes to his side for this one.

There is a return to the fold for Alan Tynan who is named at centre forward, along with Brian McGrath, who will both make their first league appearances of the year.

Sam O’Farrell returns too after an hiatus while there are starts also for Conor Martin and Darragh Stakelum at midfield.
