Mickey Harte has made two changes to the starting team that lined out in the Dr McKenna Cup final for the league opener against Kildare.

Joe McMahon takes over in midfield due to Colm Cavanagh's rib injury while Pascal McConnell replaces John Devine in goals in the usual rotation of the goalkeepers.

Ryan McMenamin is available for selection and returns to the bench for the first time since the All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Dublin last year.

Tyrone (NFL v Kildare) - Pascal McConnell, Aidan McCrory, Justin McMahon, PJ Quinn, Cathal McCarron, Peter Harte, Dermot Carlin, Michael Murphy, Joe McMahon, Matthew Donnelly, Peter Hughes, Martin Penrose, Owen Mulligan, Mark Donnelly, Stephen O'Neill.

Subs - John Devine, Aidan Cassidy, Conor Clarke, Kyle Coney, Ciaran Gervin, Jonathan Lafferty, Damian McCaul, Niall McKenna, Ryan McMenamin, Ronan McNabb, Sean O'Neill. Tweet
