McConnell gets nod to start in goal for Tyrone

TYRONE boss Mickey Harte has drafted Pascal McConnell into his starting line-up for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Kildare.

McConnell will start in goal after regular netminder John Devine was ruled out of contention when he dislocated his shoulder in training last weekend.

McConnell, who started in last year’s All-Ireland final victory over Kerry, gets the nod ahead of Jonathan Curran. Elsewhere the side is unchanged from the Ulster final triumph two weeks ago with Enda McGinley and Brian McGuigan having to be content with places on the bench once more.
