Injury forces Hyland to change goalkeeper for Derry clash

Cavan's two key outfield injury doubtfuls have been named in the starting 15 for Saturdays qualifier away to Derry in Celtic Park, but a reported ankle sprain has robbed manager Terry Hyland of his first choice goalkeeper.

Bailieborough's Alan O'Mara comes into the net-minding position Conor Gilsenan picked up an ankle sprain during the week.

Aside from Gilsenan, and long term injured players, Cavan manager Terry Hyland has a full compliment of players to choose from with Rory Dunne and Niall McDermott's names appearing on the teamsheet as starters. 

Having sat out last weekend's derby with Fermanagh, Redhill's club man Rory Dunne returns from injury to the full back berth eager to reshow his championship form.

It's a settled side who have the difficult prospect of taking on the Oak Leaf County in Celtic Park, who are fresh off their victory against Down. Whoever wins this Qualifier can look forward to playing the losers from the provincial decider between Mayo and London.

 

Cavan will line out 1 to 15 as follows:

1.  Alan O'Mara (Bailieborough Shamrocks)
2.  Jason McLoughlin (Shannon Gaels)
3.  Rory Dunne (Redhills)
4.  Killian Clarke (Shercock)
5.  James McEnroe (Ramor United)
6.  Alan Clarke (Kingscourt) Captain
7.  Ronan Flanagan (Castlerahan)
8.  Damien O'Reilly (Belturbet)
9.  David Givney (Mountnugent)
10. Cian Mackey (Castlerahan)
11. Jack Brady (Ramor United)
12. Feargal Flanagan (Butlersbridge)
13. Niall McDermott (Ballinagh)
14. Martin Dunne (Cavan Gaels)
15. Eugene Keating (Saint Sylvesters)
