The Cavan team to face Sligo this Sunday at Markievicz Park shows two changes in personnel from that which defeated Wexford last weekend.

Drung's Ciaran Galligan comes in at centre-field for the inform David Givney, who is left out as Cavan's Under 21 footballers prepare for their Ulster championship opener against Down next Wednesday night, and he will partner Lorcan Mulvey as Nicholas Walsh continues to recover from an ankle injury.

The only other switch sees Killygarry attacker Martin Reilly start at left corner-forward in place of Micheal Lyng after impressing with two late points as a substitute against the Model men.

Elsewhere, manager Tommy Carr has opted to stick with the same defence, which includes an entire Denn full-back line of Eoin McPhillips, Tomas Corr and Martin Cahill, while up front Ronan Flanagan, Gareth Smith, Mark McKeever and Cian Mackey - all of whom were among the scores last weekend - retain their positions along with Michael Brennan, who starts his third game at full-forward under Carr.
