Team news: Saffrons make two changes
May 11, 2018
Antrim pause for the National Anthem before the opening round of the McDonagh Cup against Meath at Pairc Tailteann
Antrim have made two changes in personnel from the side that hammered Meath by 16-points in Navan last weekend.
Nigel Elliott helped himself to a hat-trick of goals as the Saffrons opened their Joe McDonagh Cup campaign in convincing fashion. Now, they turn their attentions to a second round clash against Carlow at home in Belfast tomorrow.
Stephen Rooney and Conor McCann are drafted into the starting 15 in place of David Kearney and Conor Carson, respectively, for the Corrigan Park fixture.
There are also a couple of changes to the bench which sees a return for Eddie McCloskey and Arron Graffin who both missed the 5-25 to 2-18 win over the Royals for different reasons.
Antrim (Joe McDonagh Cup v Carlow): Ryan Elliott; Stephen Rooney, John Dillon, Conor McKinley; Joe Maskey, Paddy Burke, Ryan McCambridge; Eoghan Campbell, Simon McCrory; Nigel Elliott, Conor Johnston, Neil McManus; Donal McKinley, Michael Armstrong, Conor McCann.
Subs: Eoin Gillan, Matthew Donnelly, Neal McAuley, Conor Boyd, Conor Carson, James McNaughton, David Kearney, Dan McCloskey, Eoin O'Neill, Arron Graffin, Eddie McCloskey, Gerard Walsh, Ryan McNulty, Conor McHugh, Tommy Burns.
