Tyrone have named their team to face Roscommon in the opening round of the All-Ireland SFC at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park on Sunday next.

Manager Malachy O’Rourke has made two changes to the team that were beaten by Armagh, after extra time, in the Ulster championship on April 12th.

Kieran McGeary and Matthew Donnelly come into the starting 15, replacing Ben McDonnell and Darragh Canavan.

Canavan isn’t named on the match-day 26 after picking up an injury against Armagh but the selection of Brian Kennedy at midfield to partner Conn Kilpatrick is a boost to the Red Hand County after the team captain also went off injured against the Ulster champions nearly six weeks ago.
