Bolton and McNamee in for Ireland
Bolton replaces Cork full-back Michael Shields who is ruled out due to his participation with St Finbarr’s in next Sunday’s Cork SFC final while McNamee comes in for injured Down attacker Benny Coulter.
Shields is set to be available for Saturday week’s second test in Croke Park while there are indications that the Ulster Council are set to defer Sunday week’s Ulster Club SFC quarter-final between Burren and Coleraine until November 7th, in order to free Down centre-back Kevin McKernan. Bolton and McNamee’s selections bring to 16 the number of counties that are supplying players to the Irish panel.
