Donegal boss John Joe Doherty has made five changes from the side which lost out to Antrim three weeks' ago for this Saturday's first round All-Ireland qualifier with Carlow at McCumhaill Park, Ballybofey. Frank McGlynn replaces Neil Gallagher in the full-back line, while Christy Toye comes into partner Kevin Cassidy at centre-field instead of Brendan Boyle. The three other changes come up front, with Leo McCloone and David Walsh occupying the half-forward line, along team captain Rory Kavanagh, at the expense of Ciaran Bonner and Michael Hegarty. The last change sees Stephen Griffin come in at left corner-forward in place of Colm McFadden. Donegal (SFC v Carlow): P Durcan; F McGlynn, N McGee, K Lacey; B Dunnion, E McGee, M Maguire; C Toye, K Cassidy; R Kavanagh, L McCloone, D Walsh; C Dunne, M Murphy, S Griffin. Tweet
