Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has made 10 changes for Sunday’s Dr McKenna Cup clash with St Mary’s at Coalisland.

And of the five players who hold on to their places from the opening day win over Down, only midfield pair Brian Meenan and Colin Holmes retain the same positions.

Harte made it clear after introducing a handful of newcomers for the clash with Down that he would be looking at more fresh recruits this weekend.

And he has handed debuts to half back pair Brendan Boggs and Paul Quinn. Tommy McGuigan, younger brother of Brian, gets a first start after coming on as a late substitute at Healy Park.

And Dermot Carlin, who has returned to the squad following a year-long absence, also starts in defence.

Last week Sean Cavanagh was one of four members of the All-Ireland final   starting line-up who played. This time he is joined by four different men from last September’s side, including player of the year Stephen O’Neill.

Tyrone: P McConnell, D Carlin, S Sweeney, M McGee, B Boggs, P Quinn, B Donnelly, B Meenan, C Holmes, T McGuigan, S Cavanagh, C Donnelly, M Penrose, S O’Neill, R Mellon.
