GAA:Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has included Martin Swift in his defence for Saturday's All-Ireland quarter-final against Dublin. The corner-back sustained a broken nose during the win over Roscommon but is passed fit to start.
Harte has made three changes to his starting line-up, bringing back Justin McMahon alongside Swift while Owen Mulligan and Martin Penrose are brought into the attack.
Team captain Brian Dooher and forward Stephen O’Neill are also set to stage another impact-substitute role like they did against Roscommon. O’Neill has declared himself fully fit after a recent hamstring problem, yet Harte is happy to keep him in reserve.
Tyrone are aiming to avenge last year’s defeat to Dublin at the same stage of the championship, a result Harte admits was fully justified.
"Dublin deserved to beat us that day because we did not get enough scores," Harte said.
Dublin won’t name their side until tomorrow morning.
Kerry, meanwhile, will be without Micheál Quirke for the remainder of the campaign after the giant midfielder decided to take a step back from the inter-county set-up.
“Micheál Quirke has removed himself from the panel for the remainder of the championship due to a series of niggling injuries that have curtailed his game time and his ongoing personal commitments,” the Kerry board confirmed this evening.
Quirke missed the bulk of Kerry's Allianz Football League campaign and then found his options limited upon his return to the panel for the championship.
Tyrone:P McConnell, M Swift, Joe McMahon, Justin McMahon, Sean O'Neill, C Gormley, P Jordan, K Hughes, S Cavanagh, C Cavanagh, B McGuigan, P Harte, M Penrose, M Donnelly, O Mulligan.
