Ulster champions name side for All-Ireland rematch with Red Hands

By Michael McMullan

DONEGAL manager has made one change to his side for Saturday’s rematch with Tyrone (Ballybofey, 7.15pm).

Jim McGuinness has captain Patrick McBrearty with Eoghan Bán Gallagher – who started their extra-time win over Armagh – listed among the subs.

Gallagher was a surprise inclusion in the starting 15 after missing most of the season with injury.

McBrearty didn’t start the Clones rollercoaster but came on during the game.

The other change sees Luke McGlynn replace Caolan McColgan in the match day squad.
