Sheehan wins his case for defence
The Laune Rangers man is named at left half-back in place of Marc Ó Sé, whom he replaced after 25 minutes in the quarter-final against Roscommon three weeks ago. Otherwise the team is the same as it started in that game
. The selection is more or less as was generally expected. Marc Ó Se didn't settle the last day against Gary Cox who was to emerge as Roscommon's best forward, but it's probable that Sheehan was picked on the basis of form in training in the interim period.
