Team check: Antrim make two changes

There are two alterations in the Antrim team to face Derry from that which started in the drawn match for Sunday's Ulster semi-final replay at Casement Park. Kieran Killyleagh comes in at corner back for Enda McLarnon while Kevin Madden also gets his first starting place since the troublesome jaw injury in the full-forward line, with John McManus the player to lose out there.

Both players came on as substitutes in last Sunday week's game to good effect and manager Brian White is satisfied that they did enough to keep their positions.

At last night's team announcement, White also made reference to the appointment of referee Paddy Russell and he hoped that the game would not be allowed to become overly physical.

Antrim (SF v Derry): S McGreevy; K Killyleagh, M Mulholland, A Finnegan; G Adams, A Morris, J Kelly; J Quinn, S McQuillan; G Coleman, R Hamill, P McCann; K Brady, K Madden, K Doyle.

The Derry team to face Antrim will be named after training tomorrow and there are no new injuries reported. However, corner back David O'Neill is expected to be ruled out after the recurrence of the problem which affects his heart rate. It is believed to be of a viral nature, and was the cause of his early exit in the drawn game with Antrim.

Westmeath SF

Goalkeeper Aidan Lennon is troubled with a back injury and has been given more time to prove his fitness ahead of Sunday's Leinster semi-final meeting with Dublin in Croke Park.

If Lennon is able to start, there will be no changes from the team which beat Laois earlier this month. There were, however, a number of positional switches among the forwards that day and a similar freedom of positioning is expected on Sunday.

Westmeath (SF Dublin): AN Other; D Brady, D Mitchell, F Murray; D Healy, J Cooney, M Murtagh; R O'Connell, D Gavin; M Flanagan, G Heavin, P Conway; J Fallon, D Dolan, D Heavin.

Dublin SF

Manager Tom Carr will announce his team after training tomorrow and there are still a number of injury concerns to contend with before selection. Among those still doubtful are Ian Robertson, who failed to recover from an injury in time for the first outing against Wexford, and subsequently had his starting place filled to great effect by veteran Vinnie Murphy.

Also still feeling the effects of longterm injury is goalkeeper Davy Byrne, although he should, once again, be fit enough to play.

Cork SF

There are two changes from the team that started against Limerick in the Munster semi-final for Sunday's clash with Tipperary. Derek Barrett comes in at midfield for Pat Ryan and Alan Browne will play at wing forward in place of Neil Ronan.

Browne replaced Ronan in the second half of the Limerick match and Barrett also made a late appearance as a replacement for Timmy McCarthy.

Cork (SH v Tipperary): D Cusack; F Ryan, D O'Sullivan, J Browne; W Sherlock, B Corcoran, S O hAilpin; D Barrett, M O'Connell; T McCarthy, F McCormack, A Browne; S McGrath, J Deane, B O'Connor.

Roscommon SF

Manager Gay Sheerin has delayed naming the team to face Leitrim for Sunday's Connacht championship semi-final until after training this evening.

Sean Casey, Fergal O'Donnell and Derek Duggan are all fit to return after missing the opening clash with London. Enon Gavin is still ruled out.
