The Antrim team to play Galway at Corrigan Park on Sunday shows two changes in personnel from the side who lost so cruelly to Dublin last time out at the same venue.

There are two changes in the defence with Phelim Duffin, who was replaced by Stephen Rooney at the ‘11th hour’ against the Dubs, starts this time while Conor Boyd, who started at right half back that day is unavailable, with St Enda’s Niall O’Connor, midfield against Dublin, dropping back to take Boyd’s place.

Ronan McAteer makes his first start in the NHL as he comes in at midfield to take O’Connor’s place, alongside his Ruairi Og team mate Eoghan Campbell.

There are no changes in forward line with Rian McMullan, Aodhan O’Brien and Niall McKenna making up the half forward line with team captain Conal Cunning in one corner, Fred McCurry in the other with Joseph McLaughlin on the edge of the square.
