Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has raised eyebrows by naming Jamie Clarke at left half back on his team for Sunday's McKenna Cup tie against Antrim at Creggan.

Clarke, who came on as a substitute in the defeat to Tyrone last weekend, is recognised as one of the most dangerous forwards in the game, so his inclusion in defence is surprising to say the least.

Finnian Moriarty will captain the side from centre back, while Matthew McNeice starts in goal in place of Niall Geoghegan who suffered an ankle injury against the Red Hands.

Armagh (SF v Antrim): M McNeice; M McConville, B Donaghy, M Murray; M Shields, F Moriarty, J Clarke; A Findon, S Campbell; S Forker, M McKenna, E McVerry; O Mac Iomhair, C Rafferty, N McConville.
