McKernan named in Down team

DOWN manager Jim McCorry has named an unchanged team for Sunday's NFL Division Two final. McCorry has resisted the temptation to rest Kevin McKernan (below) despite the Burren star being a black card away from missing the M o u r n e m e n ' s Championship opener with Derry.

The Down boss has, however, made some positional switches. Gerard Collins moves from right half-back to the left corner and Damian Turley switches corners in the full-back line. Darren O'Hagan moves into the half-back line from right corner-back against Laois. Paul Devlin is back in the middle of the park with Caolan Mooney moving to full-forward. Mark Poland drops back from 13 to 12 while Conor Laverty moves across from full-forward to number 13.

Armagh boss, Kieran McGeeney welcomes back a number of regulars to the Orchard county line-up for their Division Three final clash with Fermanagh tomorrow. Back into the side come Jamie Clarke, Tony Kernan, Aaron Findon, Ethan Rafferty, Aidan Forker, Finnian Moriarty and Mark Shields.

Fermanagh, meanwhile, line out without their captain Eoin Donnelly after he sustained a hand injury during the week. Richard O'Callaghan is named at midfield in Donnelly's place.

Jamie O'Sullivan comes in at left half-back in the Cork team to face Dublin in Sunday's Division One final while Conor Dorman moves to centre half-back.
