Team news: Farney men unchanged

June 24, 2016

Shane Carey of Monaghan and Darragh O'Hanlon of Down

Unsurpisingly, Monaghan have named an unchanged starting fifteen for Saturday evening's Ulster SFC semi-final against Donegal at Breffni Park.

Manager Malachy O'Rourke has given a vote of confidence to the side that eased past Down in the quarter-final on a 2-22 to 0-9 scoreline.

The reigning provincial champions stepped up a gear in the second-half as they thrashed the Mourne men by nineteen-points three weeks ago.

Karl O'Connell will wear the number eight jersey after impressing in his new midfield role alongside Darren Hughes in Clones the last day.

Monaghan (SFC v Donegal): Rory Beggan; Colin Walshe, Drew Wylie, Ryan Wylie; Dessie Mone, Vinny Corey, Kieran Duffy; Karl O'Connell, Kieran Hughes; Shane Carey, Dermot Malone, Ryan McAnespie; Conor McCarthy, Darren Hughes, Conor McManus.

Subs: Conor Forde, Conor Boyle, Fintan Kelly, Neil McAdam, Dick Clerkin, Paul  Finlay, Stephen Gollogly, Thomas Kerr, Owen Duffy, Daniel McKenna, Jack McCarron.
