McConnell retains place in Red Hand line-up for Down tie

ALL-IRELAND champions Tyrone have again replaced goalkeeper John Devine with Pascal McConnell for tomorrow’s Bank of Ireland qualifier with Down at Newry.

Manager Micky Harte has also made a number of positional changes from the side that went down to Donegal in the Ulster semi-final.

Kevin Hughes is moved from full- forward to midfield with Ger Cavlan taking over the left half-forward position. Stephen O’Neill moves from there to the left corner, while Owen Mulligan is entrusted with the full- forward position.
