Ruairi Canavan will make his first championship start for Tyrone in tomorrow’s All-Ireland SFC Group 3 encounter with Westmeath at Kingspan Breffni.

The rising star replaces Niall Sludden to join his older brother Darragh in attack. It’s the only change joint-managers Brian Dooher and Feargal Logan have made from the side that defeated Armagh a fortnight ago.

Frank Burns has been added the subs after serving a one-match suspension.

Tyrone (SF v Westmeath): Niall Morgan; Michael McKernan, Ronan McNamee, Padraig Hampsey; Cormac Quinn, Michael O’Neill, Peter Harte; Brian Kennedy, Conn Kilpatrick; Conor Meyler, Joe Oguz, Ruairi Canavan; Darren McCurry, Mattie Donnelly, Darragh Canavan.

Subs: Lorcan Quinn, Frank Burns, Aidan Clarke, Niall Devlin, Richie Donnelly, Niall Kelly, Nathan McCarron, Kieran McGeary, Michael McGleenan, Seanie O’Donnell, Niall Sludden.
