Patrick Doyle is the one enforced change from the Cork team that defeated Meath for Sunday’s Division 2 trip to face Down in Newry.

Doyle was a 52nd substitute for Mícheál Aodh Martin in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh after Martin picked up a thigh injury.

The announced team is otherwise the same. Cathail O’Mahony, Darragh Cashman, Éanna Desmond and Tommy Walsh, who all came off the bench against Meath, are named among the substitutes again. Christopher Kelly replaced Doyle as reserve goalkeeper.

Neil Lordan, Seán Walsh and Seán McDonnell all made their senior debuts last Saturday and are named to start again. Ian Maguire and Brian Hurley could come into the reckoning for the February 15 home clash with Westmeath.
