Antrim manager Liam Bradley has confirmed that Peter Graham will replace the injured Sean McGreevy between the posts in Saturday's Ulster SFC semi-final against Cavan. The long-serving McGreevy was forced to retire with a groin injury in the early stages of the Saffrons' shock quarter-final victory over Donegal, and was replaced by under 21 'keeper Graham, who is set to deputise in his absence once again. "He will be starting on Saturday for definite," Bradley said of Graham. The Glenullin man also indicated that Kevin Niblock, Kevin O'Boyle and Benny Hasson, who all made significant contributions when coming off the bench against Donegal, are pushing hard for starting places. Bradley admitted that punters would have got long odds on Antrim and Cavan meeting in the Ulster SFC semi-final at the start of the year. "Saturday night is certainly a novel pairing," he said. "I'd say, at the start of the year, if you told someone that Antrim and Cavan would contest one of the Ulster football semi-finals, they'd have told you to go and get your head looked at! "But we're both similar counties, with young teams trying to build for the future and make a breakthrough. Cavan haven't been in an Ulster final since 2001 and Antrim last contested one in 1970 so it's a great opportunity and the loser will still have a chance in the qualifiers." Tweet
