Two players set to make Westmeath debuts in London trip

 

Westmeath senior hurling manager, Brian Hanley has named his starting XV to face London in the All-Ireland SHC qualifier at Ruislip tomorrow (Saturday, 4.30pm).

Twin brothers from Kilbeggan, Paul and David Fennell, are both included in the defence, while their Castletown-Geoghegan club-mate Niall O'Brien has been selected at corner-forward.

Hanley hands a championship debut to St Oliver Plunkett's star Aaron Craig (centre-forward), while injury troubles see Aonghus Clarke (Castletown-Geoghegan) and Gary Greville (Raharney) drop to the bench.

Liam Varley will also make his senior championship start at corner-back with Castlepollard's Tommy Gallagher moving to full back, while up front, Robbie Greville (Raharney) slots in at full forward.
