McManus to debut for Saffron's seniors

Teenager Neil McManus will make his league debut for the Antrim senior hurlers this Sunday when they take on Dublin in NHL Division 1B (Casement Park, throw-in 2.30pm).

The Cushendall clubman, who was the county's minor captain last year, will make the step-up in Belfast as he lines out at centre-forward in a team that shows three changes to the one that lost 3-25 to 0-12 to Galway a fortnight ago.
