Tyrone name team to line out against Cavan

TYRONE have named their team to face Cavan in Sunday’s Ulster Championship quarter-final clash at O’Neill’s Healy Park.

There is one change from the team that inflicted an impressive win over Dublin on the final day of the league, with Aodhan Donaghy coming in for Joe Oguz in the half-forward line.

Mark Bradley remains sidelined with a calf injury having sat out the Dublin game, while long-term absentees Padraig Hampsey and Conor Meyler are also still working their way back to fitness.

The subs bench sees Errigal Ciaran midfielder Ben McDonnell in contention to see game-time for the first time this season, having made a return to the intercounty scene after a three-year absence following his club’s run to the All-Ireland final.

Tyrone U20 star Eoin McElholm is also named on the bench, while the starting 15 is a familiar looking line-up that will be led out by captain Brian Kennedy, who played every minute of every match in Division One this year.

Team line up:

1 Niall Morgan

2 Aidan Clarke

3 Peter Teague

4 Niall Devlin

5 Michael McKernan

6 Rory Brennan

7 Kieran McGeary

8 Brian Kennedy

9 Conn Kilpatrick

10 Aodhan Donaghy

11 Mattie Donnelly

12 Ciarán Daly

13 Darren McCurry

14 Peter Harte

15 Darragh Canavan

Subs: Oisin O’Kane, Nathan McCarron, Cormac Quinn, Frank Burns, Shea O’Hare, Ben McDonnell, Joe Oguz, Seanie O’Donnell, Eoin McElholm, Cathal McShane, Ruairi Canavan
