Antrim side to face Dublin

The Antrim team to face Dublin at Corrigan Park tomorrow shows two changes from the team that beat Carlow last weekend. Conall Conning, who was star of the show last weekend with six points, unfortunately misses tomorrow’s game due to a broken jaw injury that he received against Carlow and his place in the corner is taken by the Dunloy teammate Owen O’Neill. O’Neill came on in the closing stages last week against Carlow and showed well, scoring a good point. He had been playing at midfield in the earlier games with the campaign, but this time slotted in at the top of the left.

Donald Nugent takes over in goals from Conor McFadden from last week’s side as Davey Fitzgerald continues his policy of alternating the goalkeeper from week to week during the league campaign.

The fullback line remains the same with Stephen Rooney at right-back, Niall O’Connor at full-back and Paddy Burke in the left corner. The personnel in the half back line are the same as last week. The only change being that Gerard Walsh moves into number six, with Joe Maskey moving out onto the left wing while Dunloy maintains his place on the right.

Midfielder Ryan McCambridge maintains his place and wears the number 8 jersey again, but Paul Boyle, who started in the half-forward line last week, moves back to partner McCambridge at the middle of the field, in a straight swap with Keelan Molloy, who this time wears the number 10 jersey,

Conor Johnson stays on the 40 with Rory Donaghy of St Enda’s on the left, while in the full forward line top scorer this season, Seaan Elliott, is in the right corner, with James McNaughton on the edge of the square and Eoin O’Neill at the top of the left.
