Colm Cavanagh set for first Tyrone appearance of the year in re-fixed McKenna Cup final

Mickey Harte has made 14 changes to the team for Saturday night’s clash against Donegal.

CATHAL MCCARRON IS the only player to retain his place in the Tyrone team for their re-fixed McKenna Cup final against Donegal on Saturday.

Colm Cavanagh is the notable inclusion in Mickey Harte’s side as he makes his first start of the season for the Red Hand.

Cavanagh was part of the Moy side that lifted All-Ireland intermediate honours in Croke Park two weekends ago and has been quick to link back up with the county side.

Mattie Donnelly, who kicked the winner against Kildare in Division 1 last weekend, forms a strong bench that also includes Peter Harte and Pádraig Hampsey.

The game throws-in at 6pm at the Athletic Grounds in  Armagh and will be streamed live on the BBC NI Sport website.

‘He’s effectively missing out on an All-Ireland final. How often do you get that chance?’

‘I’d say there are loads more players up and down the country feeling the same way’
