Team news: no McNamee as Tyrone bring in McKenna and Kennedy

July 17, 2021

Tyrone's Conor McKenna pulls the trigger against Mayo

Ronan McKenna is a notable absentee from the Tyrone squad for tomorrow's Ulster SFC semi-final against Donegal.

The All-Star full back hasn't been named in the match-day 26, despite having the red card he received against Cavan overturned by the GAA's Central Hearings Committee on Thursday night. However, it would be a major surprise if he isn't drafted in before throw-in.

In McNamee's absence, Rory Brennan moves from wing back to the edge of the square, with Niall Sludden - who wore the number 15 jersey against Cavan - dropping back to the half back line. Brian Kennedy and Conor McKenna come in at midfield and corner forward respectively, with Mattie Donnelly switching from midfield to full forward. 

Cathal McShane, who came off the bench last weekend, is named once again among the subs.

Tyrone (SF v Donegal): Niall Morgan; Michael McKernan, Rory Brennan, Padraig Hampsey (captain); Niall Sludden, Michael O'Neill, Peter Harte; Brian Kennedy, Conn Kilpatrick; Kieran McGeary, Richard Donnelly, Conor Meyler; Darren McCurry, Mattie Donnelly, Conor McKenna.
