Mickey Harte makes six changes for Tyrone

Tyrone manager Mickey Harte has made six changes to his side for Sunday’s NFL clash with Monaghan at Inniskeen.

Justin McMahon, one of three players to return from suspension, replaces older brother Joe, currently serving a four week ban, at full back.

Conor Gormley and Martin Penrose also return to the team, having served the bans handed out to them following the opening day defeat to Derry.

Kyle Coney has been rested ahead of next week’s U-21 Championship clash with Derry.

Back into the team come Cookstown pair Owen Mulligan and Raymond Mulgrew, following their All-Ireland IFC winning adventure with Cookstown last month.

The anticipated return of Brian Dooher and Sean Cavanagh to the match-day panel has been put on hold, but Ciaran Gourley and Ryan Mellon do return to the subs following injury.

Tyrone team to play Monaghan in the NFL Division 1 on Sunday 7 March, 2.30pm at Inniskeen:

J Curran, D Carlin, J McMahon, S O’Neill, D Harte, C Gormley, R McMenamin, A Cassidy, K Hughes, C Cavanagh, B McGuigan, R Mulgrew, T McGuigan, M Penrose, O Mulligan.
