Illness-hit Antrim to come out fighting

Antrim have been hit by illness ahead of their Dr McKenna Cup clash against defending champions Tyrone on Sunday in Dungannon.

Five of Mickey Culbert's players are still laid up with flu, and he will be looking for an improvement as his depleted side went down to Cavan last week.

Captain Joe Quinn is among those sidelined, and attacker John McAleese is also a doubt after picking up an ankle injury.

Culbert said: "We will be up against it on Sunday against Tyrone. But we are not going to give Tyrone a challenge … we are going out to win."
