Cian Mackey and Gearoid McKiernan will make their first starts of the Allianz League campaign against Cork this Sunday at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Breffni boss Mattie McGleenan has named Mackey at right corner-forward while McKiernan is stationed on 'the 40', with Caoimhin O'Reilly and Enda Flanagan dropping to the bench from last Sunday's five-point win over Meath.

They are the only two changes for the Blues as McGleenan keeps Padraig Faulkner and Ciaran Brady in the central positions of the defence at full-back and centre-back respectively, while Dara McVeety captains the team from right half-forward.

Throw-in is at 1pm.

Cavan (FL2 v Cork): Raymond Galligan; Niall Murray, Padraig Faulkner, David Phillips; Martin Reilly, Ciaran Brady, Conor Moynagh; Bryan Magee, Killian Clarke; Dara McVeety, Gearoid McKiernan, Oisin Kiernan; Cian Mackey, Adrian Cole, Niall Clerkin

Subs: James Farrelly, Stephen Murray, Conor Brady, Conor Bradley, Caoimhin O'Reilly, Enda Flanagan, David Brady, Sean McCormack, Darragh Kennedy, Thomas Galligan, Jason McLoughlin
