Saffrons name side for top of the table clash

By Michael McMullan

ANTRIM manager Andy McEntee has named his side for this weekend’s top of the table group clash with Sligo in the Tailteann Cup.

There are no changes to the squad named for their win over Wexford when Aghagallon’s Ruairi McCann fourth goal of the season was the major score in a one-point Saffron win.

Antrim bowed out in the semi-final last season at the hands of eventual champions Meath and have used this season’s campaign well to date to get back on the horse after losing to Down in the Ulster Championship.

Antrim: Michael Byrne, Declan Lynch, Eunan Walsh, Kaven Keenan, Niall Burns, Joseph Finnegan, Dermot McAleese, Patrick McAleer, Cathal Hynds, Conor Hand, Patrick McBride, Ruairi McCann (Creggan), Ryan McQuillan, Ruairi McCann (Aghagallon), Marc Jordan
Subs: Luke Mulholland, Calum Higgins, Colm McLarnon, Conhuir Johnston, Cormac McGettigan, Daniel McNicholl, Dominic McEnhill, Eoin Hynds, James McDonnell, Oran Downey, Pat Shivers
