Debuts for two Tyrone men

Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has handed two forwards their championship debuts for Sunday's Ulster SFC first-round clash against Down at Casement Park.

The Red Hand manager has also named skipper Brian Dooher in his line-up, although question marks remain over his fitness.

Debutant Martin Penrose will lead the attack and is joined on his left by fellow newcomer Ryan Mellon.

Owen Mulligan lines out at top of the right, having recovered from a hamstring injury and Stephen O'Neill is named at full-forward, having shrugged off a similar injury.

Talisman Peter Canavan is named on the bench, but is sure to appear should the Red Hands need his services.

TYRONE (SFC v Down): P McConnell; R McMenamin, C Lawn, S Sweeney; C Gormley, G Devlin, P Jordan; C Holmes, S Cavanagh; B Dooher, M Penrose, R Mellon; O Mulligan, S O'Neill, E McGinley.
