Team Newspublished at 14:58 BST
Donegal v Down (15:00 BST)
The big news on the Donegal team is that Michael Langan doesn’t start he’s replaced by Ciaran Moore in one of three changes from the side which beat Kerry to win the Division One league title last month.
Finbarr Roarty replaces Max Campbell at wing-back – both men played in Wednesday night’s defeat to Tyrone in the Ulster under 20 championship semi-final.
The other change comes at corner forward with Oisin Gallen taking the place of Shea Malone.
Down are also league champions, winning the Division Three title over extra-time against Wexford last month.
Conor Laverty makes three changes to that side including one huge surprise as Caolan Mooney – who just recently returned and had not been initially named on the 26 – starts and wears number five.
John McGeough takes the place of Tom Close at half forward with Pearse McPolin replacing Liam Kerr on the inside line.
Ruairi O’Hare is no longer on the Down subs with Ryan Magill taking his place on the bench.
