MONAGHAN’S DARREN HUGHES will captain Ulster again as they look to defend their interprovincial title.
Manager Joe Kernan named his 26-man squad last night ahead of Sunday’s semi-final against Munster in the Athletic Grounds.
Eight Tyrone footballers are included, making the Red Hand the most represented county in this year’s squad, while four of Donegal’s All-Ireland winning team make the cut: Michael Murphy, Mark McHugh and Eamon and Neil McGee.
Sunday’s meeting is a repeat of last year’s final which Ulster won 3-11 to 1-15 to claim their first win in the interpros since 2009.
Leinster face Connacht in Pearse Park, Longford in Sunday’s other semi-final.
