Six new faces for Leitrim

Leitrim manager Mickey Moran has made six changes for his side's first game in a month on Sunday afternoon.

The Connacht outfit's last National League outing came in a facile 3-19 to 0-0 win over Kilkenny four weeks ago, with their only subsequent fixture against London postponed due to an unplayable pitch in the UK capital.

Into the side come Dermot Reynolds at corner back, midfielders Tomas Beirne and Daniel Lowe and forward trio Colm Clarke, Colm Maguire and Conor Kelly.

Beirne is available after serving a four-week suspension while Kelly is given the nod at corner forward after a burst of 1-2 after his introduction as a substitute against the clawless Cats.

The players to make way are Barry McWeeney, Darren Sweeney, Robert Lowe, Wayne McKeon, Paul Brennan and Brian McDonald.

Leitrim's only defeat to date came against Wicklow while Fermanagh, despite being fancied as one of the genuine promotion candidates at the outset, are without a win since their opening game.

Leitrim (SF v Fermanagh): C McGrann; G Reynolds, R Gallagher, P Maguire; D Beck, G Reynolds, B Prior; T Beirne, D Lowe; E Mulligan, C Clarke, C Maguire; J Glancy (Glencar-Manorhamilton, capt), A Croal, C Kelly.
