MICKEY HARTE GOES in search of a first league win of the season when Tyrone host fellow Ulster side Monaghan at Healy Park on Saturday night [throw-in 7pm, Eir Sport].
He’s decided to shuffle his pack from the team that drew with Roscommon a fortnight ago, with a host of new facing coming into the starting line-up.
Liam Rafferty takes his place in the backline, while Frank Burns, who came off the bench against Roscommon, is installed in the half-forward line.
Richard Donnelly is introduced in midfield, with Peter Harte moving into full forward – meaning Darren McCurry drops out.

Niall Morgan, who scored three points in his last outing including a last-gasp equaliser, will be called upon again for his place kicking.
The two sides met last summer in the All Ireland semi-final, which the Red Hand won by a single point.
