Donegal name their pack for Cavan showdown

By Michael McMullan

DONEGAL manager Jim McGuinness has named his squad ahead of Sunday’s game with Cavan (Kingspan Breffni, 2pm).

The Ulster champions will be looking to bounce back after losing their All-Ireland opener at the hands of Tyrone last weekend.

Shaun Patton missed that game but is named in the number one jersey.

Caolan McGonagle limped out of the game and he is replaced by Peadar Mogan, with Eoghan Bán Gallagher going to number six.

Jason McGee and Niall O’Donnell, both injured, are not listed in the 26.

Donegal: Shaun Patton, Finnbarr Roarty, Brendan McCole, Peadar Mogan, Ryan McHugh, Eoghan Bán Gallagher, Ciarán Moore, Hugh McFadden, Michael Langan, Dáire Ó Baoill, Ciarán Thompson, Shane O’Donnell, Patrick McBrearty, Michael Murphy, Oisín Gallen

Subs: Gavin Mulreany, Stephen McMenamin, Odhrán McFadden Ferry, Caolan McColgan, Mark Curran, Odhrán Doherty, Aaron Doherty, Eoin McHugh, Jamie Brennan, Conor O’Donnell, Domhnall Mac Giolla Bhríde
