3 Monaghan changes for Ulster battle as Clarke misses out for Cavan

Malachy O’Rourke has shaken up his team since the league semi-final against Dublin.

Updated 11am

DICK CLERKIN, DREW Wylie and Dermot Malone are all back in the Monaghan starting team for Sunday’s Ulster quarter-final against Cavan.

Manager Malachy O’Rourke has shaken up his side from the team who ran Dublin so close in last month’s league semi-final in Croke Park.

Wylie will start at full-back as he replaces Thomas Kerr while Clerkin comes in at midfield in a positional reshuffle that sees Darren Hughes go to wing-forward, Dessie Mone switch to corner-back and Kieran Duffy drop to the bench.

The final change sees Dermot Malone named at right corner-forward instead of Ryan McAnespie. Colin Walshe and Owen Lennon are notable inclusions on the bench after recent injury travails.

Cavan boss Terry Hyland has also announced his team, with no championship debutant in the starting 15.

Killian Clarke is a notable absentee through injury.

Throw-in at Kingspan Breffni Park is 2pm with live coverage on RTÉ 2.
