Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has named his team for Sunday’s Ulster senior football championship preliminary round clash against Tyrone.

It’s an unchanged side from the one which drew with Kerry in their last league outing to help secure survival in Division 1.

Tiernan Kelly and Ben Crealey start at centre-field for the Orchard men while Jason Duffy is named at full-forward where he’s set to be flanked by Cian McConville and Oisin Conaty.
