Laois came up from the Intermediate ranks last year and will be anxious to avoid dropping back down quickly.
The O’Moore County tackle Cavan in Kiltoom, with the winners staying alive in the senior grade. While the losers will play Waterford or Tipperary on Saturday week, July 22.
Cavan found themselves in a tough group in the All-Ireland series alongside Dublin and Kerry, and lost both games.
Laois were pitted with Armagh and Mayo, and suffered defeat in those two fixtures.
Laois have made two changes following the Mayo defeat, with goalkeeper Eimear Barry coming in for Naomi Luttrell, while Aoife Kirrane replaces Eva Galvin.
For Cavan, Keri McCormack replaces Geraldine Smith in the one change in personnel from the Kerry game.
Laois: E Barry; S Farrelly, C Dunne, A Kelly; S Havill, E Healy (c), L Nerney; A Healy, O Hennessy; A Kirrane, L.M. Maher, A Moran; S.A. Fitzgerald, M Nerney, K Donoghue.
Cavan: Róisín O’Reilly; C Brady, S Lynch, C Charters; E Halton, N Byrd (capt.), Rebecca O’Reilly; C Madden, E Madden; A Walls, A Sheridan, K McCormack; M Cusack, G Sheridan, A Gilsenan.
