KIERAN MCGEENEY HAS handed debuts to four players for Sunday’s Ulster SFC clash against Down at Páirc Esler.
Jarly Og Burns, Rian O’Neill, Ryan Kennedy and Aidan Nugent get the nod for their first championship starts, while Jamie Clarke makes his first championship appearance for his native county in almost two years.
Clarke spent the majority of 2018 in New York and lined out with the Exiles in the Connacht SFC last summer.
His last championship appearance in the Armagh jersey was the All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Tyrone in August 2017.
Burns, the son of former Orchard captain Jarlath, is a highly-rated midfielder who was one of four players to play Sigerson Cup football under Down boss Paddy Tally at St Mary’s University in Belfast.
Meanwhile Cavan boss Mickey Graham has brought in two newcomers for tomorrow’s Ulster quarter-final against Monaghan at 7pm in Kingspan Breffni. Wing-back Conor Rehill and midfielder Conor Brady are the debutants while there is a first start for full-forward Thomas Galligan.
