Down sharpshooter Donal O'Hare has won his fitness battle and is named at top of the right in the team to face Wexford in today's All-Ireland SFC qualifier.

The Burren clubman has been struggling with a calf injury since the narrow Ulster SFC defeat to Derry and was rated as doubtful by manager Jim McCorry during the week.

Elsewhere, McCorry has positioned utility man Kevin McKernan at centre half-back.

Down (SFC qualifier v Wexford) - Stephen Kane; Darren O'Hagan, Luke Howard, Damian Turley; Brendan McArdle, Kevin McKernan, Ryan Boyle; Peter Fitzpatrick, Caolan Mooney; Paul Devlin, Mark Poland, Conor Maginn; Donal O'Hare, Conor Laverty, Jerome Johnston.
