Colm Cavanagh will make his first appearance for Tyrone since last year's All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Dublin when the Red Hands take on Donegal in tomorrow's re-fixed McKenna Cup final.

Fresh from lifting the All-Ireland club IFC title, Cavanagh has just returned to the county set-up and lines out at midfield in a much-changed side with his fellow Moy clubman Harry Loughran named at centre-forward.

The Ulster pre-season decider had originally been scheduled to take place in January but was deferred until this weekend and since switched from Celtic Park to the Athletic Grounds (throw-in 6pm).

Tyrone (McKenna Cup final v Donegal): Mickey O'Neill; Aidan McCrory, Cathal McCarron, Brendan Burns; Michael Cassidy, Ronan McNabb, Kieran McGeary; Colm Cavanagh, Ben McDonnell; Declan McClure, Harry Loughran, Conal McCann; Darren McCurry, Ronan McHugh, Ronan O'Neill.

Subs: Niall Morgan, Matthew Donnelly, Padraig Hampsey, Peter Harte, Connor McAliskey, Hugh Pat McGeary, Ciaran McLaughlin, Padraig McNulty, Cathal McShane, Conor Meyler, Niall Sludden.
