McConnell named in Red Hands goal

John Devine's season could be over
John Devine's season could be over

Tyrone have made one change to the team that defeated Antrim in the final of the Ulster SFC for Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final clash with Kildare.

Pascal McConnell replaces John Devine in the Red Hand goal after Devine was ruled out with a dislocated shoulder.

Devine sustained the injury in training and could miss the remainder of the Championship. Last year the goalkeeper heartbreakingly missed the All-Ireland final victory against Kerry after his father died on the eve of the big game.

Sean Cavanagh will again play at midfield as Enda McGinley remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Forwards Ryan Mellon and Niall Gormley have failed to recover from the same injury.

Tyrone team to play Kildare in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park on Sunday, 2 August:

P McConnell, PJ Quinn, Justin McMahon, R McMenamin, D Harte, C Gormley, P Jordan, K Hughes, S Cavanagh, B Dooher, T McGuigan, Joe McMahan, M Penrose, S O’Neill, O Mulligan.
