Cavanagh has been named at full-forward for a game that was originally postponed on 26 February due to an unplayable pitch at Healy Park.

The five-time All-Star made a major impression when scoring 0-3 off the bench in last Saturday’s win over Monaghan and is one of four changes to the Tyrone side.

Cavanagh replaces Ronan O’Neill, the rotation policy in goal continues with Niall Morgan coming in for Mickey O’Neill, while Rory Brennan and Padraig McNulty are drafted in for Frank Burns and Declan McClure.
