Canavan makes first start for Tyrone

AllStar Peter Canavan will make his first start of the year for Tyrone in Div 1A of the NFL against Armagh on Sunday.

Canavan has been on club duty with Errigal Ciaran until late February and his return is a welcome boost for boss Mickey Harte.

Canavan starts at full-forward, the in-form Sean Cavanagh continues at midfield while Michael McGee replaces the injured Declan McCrossan in defence.

Tyrone (SF v Armagh): P McConnell; R McMenamin, C Holmes, M McGee; C Gormley, G Devlin, P Jordan; R Mellon, S Cavanagh; S Mulgrew, B McGuigan, B Dooher; F McGuigan, P Canavan, O Mulligan.
