Cavan make three changes for clash

Defending champions Cavan have made three changes and leave a midfield position open for Sunday's Ulster senior football championship clash with Donegal at Clones.

Fergus Reilly, who replaced tentative debutant midfielder Pierce McKenna in the second half of the first-round game against Fermanagh, picked up a knee injury in training last Friday and is regarded as doubtful.

Ciaran Brady makes a return to the full-back line to the exclusion of Paul Murphy. Brady has been chosen at full back with Terry Farrelly moving to the left flank.

Larry Reilly will be the new attack leader. Cathal Collins who was replaced by match winner Michael Graham against Fermanagh drops back to the bench and Ronan Carolan moves from left wing to the right with Raymond Cunningham on the left wing of attack. Dropped also is full forward Mark Leddy, and Fintan Cahill moves in from the left corner to facilitate the Cuchulains' speedster.

Antrim hurling boss Sean McGuinness has named the same team that finished last Sunday for next Sunday's Ulster senior hurling semi-final replay against London at Casement Park.

The match is part of an unusual programme of Ulster semi-finals. Ciaran McCambridge who retired at half-time last Sunday with a broken wrist was replaced by Ronan Donnelly at left corner back and the Ballycastle man is retained.

London, with a team consisting of seven Tipperary exiles, two each from Limerick, Galway and Kilkenny and one each from Clare and Dublin, return to the Belfast venue believing they won last Sunday's match by 0-19 to 0-18.

Since Sunday's match the London goalkeeper Brian O'Malley has been vindicated, by video evidence, in his post-match assertion that his team "was robbed".

The video clearly shows O'Malley blocking Alistair Elliot's late shot just above the cross bar and the ball going around the post and out for a '65.

Elliot did not have to wait for the video evidence to make up his mind. He said that it was a '65 and not a point in the dressingroom after the match.
