McShane makes the bench as Tyrone name team for Cavan

TYRONE have named their starting team to face Cavan in Saturday’s Ulster Championship quarter-final.

Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher have named a familiar looking line-up, though Darragh Canavan won’t be available to play as he suffered an ankle injury in their Division One semi-final defeat to Kerry.

Cathal McShane, who has been recuperating from long-term injury, makes the subs’ bench for the first time this year. Newcomer to the panel, Michael Conroy, has also made the 26.

Also of note is that there is no place for former AFL star Conor McKenna on either the starting team or bench.

The team is as follows:

1 Niall Morgan

2 Michael McKernan

3 Ronan McNamee

4 Padraig Hampsey

5 Rory Brennan

6 Michael O’Neill

7 Peter Harte

8 Matthew Donnelly

9 Conn Kilpatrick

10 Kieran McGeary

11 Richard Donnelly

12 Conor Meyler

13 Darren McCurry

14 Paul Donaghy

15 Niall Sludden

Subs: 16 Darragh McAnenly, 17 Mark Bradley, 18 Frank Burns, 19 Michael Conroy, 20 Niall Kelly, Brian Kennedy, 22 Tiernan McCann, 23 Ben McDonnell, 24 HP McGeary, 25 Cathal McShane, 26 Conor Shields
