Armagh boss Paddy O'Rourke has named All Star forward Ronan Clarke in his starting 15 for Sunday's NFL Division Two final against Down at Croke Park.

Clarke had been doubtful for the decider against the Mourne men after suffering an Achilles injury last month against Laois and only coming on as a substitute in the win over Donegal last Sunday week.

However, the Pearse Og clubman has proved his fitness to O'Rourke and takes his place at full-forward alongside fellow Orchard veteran Steven McDonnell, while Tony Kernan drops to the bench.

Armagh (NFL v Down): P Hearty; A Mallon, B Donaghy, B Shannon; P Duffy, K McKeever, F Moriarty; J Lavery, J Toner; C Vernon, A Kernan, G Swift; S McDonnell, R Clarke, B Mallon. Tweet
