Cavan manager Terry Hyland has handed out two debuts for Sunday's Ulster SFC quarter-final encounter with Armagh at Kingspan Breffni Park.

Right corner-back Padraig Faulkner and midfielder Liam Buchanan will make their championship bows as expected after both impressed in the Breffni men's run to promotion to Division 1 of the league.

Hyland's starting fifteen shows three new faces from the one that lined out against Tyrone in the Division 2 decider at Croke Park last month with Rory Dunne, Feargal Flanagan and Niall Murray all coming into the defence.

Dunne replaces the injured Jason McLoughlin (shoulder) in the full-back line while the Brady's, Ciaran and Killian drop to the bench to make room for Flanagan and Murray, who take up the wing-back positions.

Cavan (SFC v Armagh): Raymond Galligan; Padraig Faulkner, Killian Clarke, Rory Dunne; Feargal Flanagan, Conor Moynagh, Niall Murray; Tomas Corr, Liam Buchanan; Dara McVeety, Gearoid McKiernan, Martin Reilly; David Givney, Michael Argue, Sean Johnston.
