Nolan passed fit for Wicklow

Defender Rory Nolan has overcome a leg injury to be named in the Wicklow team for Saturday's Tommy Murphy Cup final clash with Antrim at Croke Park (throw-in 12pm).

Nolan was a doubt for the game after injurying himself during last weekend's semi-final win over Leitrim.

But aided by some trips to Whites ice chambers in Wexford, the Baltinglass clubman is set to retain his place at right half-back.

Wicklow manager Mick O'Dwyer has named an unchanged team and includes four players - Nolan, Paul Earls, Seanie Furlong and Ciaran Walshe - who did not start last year's Murphy Cup decider.

The Garden county side required extra-time and a last-gasp goal from Tommy Gill twelve months ago as they edged out Antrim on a 3-13 to 1-17 score-line.

Tomorrow's encounter will mark the last ever Tommy Murphy Cup final as, at April's GAA Congress, it was agreed to scrap the second-tier competition.

WICKLOW (Tommy Murphy Cup v Antrim) - M Travers; C Hyland, D Power A Byrne; R Nolan, D O hAnnaidh (capt), L Glynn; J Stafford, T Walsh; J McGrath, T Hannon, P Earls; C Walshe, S Furlong, D Daly.
