Fitzpatrick named in Antrim 15

BUSY WEEK…Matthew Fitzpatrick has been named at centre half-forward

MATTHEW Fitzpatrick has been named in the Antrim starting 15 for Sunday’s Ulster Championship quarter-final with Donegal in Ballybofey.

The St John’s man’s participation in the game looked in doubt until Wednesday night after he was handed a 48-week ban for misleading a GAA disciplinary hearing, but it was thrown out.

James Laverty has failed his race to be fit, so goalkeeper Chris Kerr will captain the side in his absence.

Antrim: C Kerr; C Hamill, P Gallagher, P Healy; P McBride, D Lynch, P McAleer; S McVeigh, S Beatty; R McCann, M Fitzpatrick, M Sweeney; CJ McGourty, B Bradley, T McCann
