Derry SF

There are two changes from the team which beat Cavan in the Ulster championship last Sunday in the line-out to face Meath in tomorrow's National League final replay at Clones. Corner forward Paddy Bradley has been forced out through injury (shin splints) and is replaced by Geoffrey McGonagle. Niall McOscar - who started at wing back in the drawn game of last Sunday week - returns to wing forward, with Benny Murray the player to lose out.

DERRY (SF v Meath): M Conlon; K McKeever, SM Lockhart, D O'Neill; G Coleman, H Downey, P McFlynn; A Tohill, D Heaney; N McOscar, D Dougan, R Rocks; G McGonagle, E Muldoon, J McBride.

Carlow SF

Only three players will line-out in the same positions as the first round-robin game with Wicklow for tomorrow's meeting with Longford - goalkeeper John Brennan, full back Andrew Corden and midfielder Patrick Nolan. Forwards Brian Kelly and Mark Dowling are among those introduced.

Carlow (SF v Longford): J Brennan; B Farrell, A Corden, B Hannon; AN Other, S O'Brien, J Kavanagh; J McGrath, P Nolan; M Dowling, J Byrne, J Morrissey; R Donnelly, J Nevin, B Kelly.

Meath SF

An injury crisis which affects, among others, Mark O'Reilly, Cormac Murphy, Hank Traynor and Paddy Reynolds has delayed selection of the team. In addition, Tommy Dowd's return has been delayed after he picked up an ankle injury. There are also fitness concerns for Enda McManus and Barry Callaghan. The team will be announced prior to throw-in in Clones on Saturday.

Andy Moloney has been ruled out of the Tipperary hurling team for the opening round of the championship against Waterford on Sunday week. Moloney sustained a serious eye injury in the league semi-final against Limerick but had hoped to be fit to face Waterford. However, a visit to a specialist this week indicated that the damaged retina may require laser treatment or surgery.
