Down hand debut to rising star McCartan

Down's latest prodigy from the McCartan clan, 20-year old Eoin, has been handed his championship debut ahead of Sunday's Ulster opener against Cavan.

Eoin, the younger brother of county hero James, starts at corner-forward with Dan Gordon at full-forward beside him.

Elsewhere, Sean Farrell will also make his debut at wing-back while John Clarke comes in for Sean Ward amid internal switches.

Down (SFC v Cavan): M McVeigh; M Higgins, A Molloy, A Scullion; J Clarke, M Cole, S Farrell; B Coulter, G McCartan; L Doyle, Shane Ward, R Sexton; D Hughes, D Gordon, E McCartan.
