Monaghan manager Malachy O'Rourke has kept faith with the team that defeated Armagh after a replay for the Ulster SFC final versus Donegal at Clones on Sunday.

The starting fifteen shows eleven survivors from the one that lined out in last year's historic provincial success over this weekend's opponents. Midfielder Dick Clerkin came on as a substitute while the missing players are Kieran Duffy, Neil McAdam, Owen Lennon and Padraig Donaghy.

The Conor McManus captained side will be attempting to put Ulster titles back-to-back for the first time since 1930.

Monaghan (SFC v Donegal): Rory Beggan; Ryan Wylie, Drew Wylie, Colin Walshe; Dessie Mone, Vinny Corey, Fintan Kelly; Dick Clerkin, Darren Hughes; Paudie McKenna, Stephen Gollogly, Paul Finlay; Dermot Malone, Kieran Hughes, Conor McManus.

Subs: Gerard Mc Caffrey, Conor Boyle, Kieran Duffy, Conor Galligan, Karl O'Connell, Gavin Doogan, Padraig Donaghy, Owen Duffy, Thomas Kerr, Jack McCarron, Chris McGuinness. Tweet
