Armagh make one change for Croker showdown

By Michael McMullan

ARMAGH have made one change to their team for Sunday’s All-Ireland final showdown with Galway at Croke Park (3.30pm).

Connaire Mackin comes in for his first start since their win over Derry with Peter McGrane missing out.

McGrane started in every league and championship game on the way to the final.

With Galway’s kick-out targets in their half-forward area and Connor Gleeson’s ability to go long, it’s a ‘horses for courses’ decision.

There is still no place for Stefan Campbell who kicked 0-5 in the last three games when taken in at half time.

Armagh: Blaine Hughes; Paddy Burns, Aaron McKay, Barry McCambridge; Connaire Mackin, Tiernan Kelly, Aidan Forker; Niall Grimley, Ben Crealey; Joe McElroy, Rian O’Neill, Oisin Conaty; Rory Grugan, Andrew Murnin, Conor Turbitt
Subs: Ethan Rafferty, Greg McCabe, Peter McGrane, Ciaran Higgins, Ross McQuillan, Shane McParland, Jason Duffy, Oisin O’Neill, Stefan Campbell, Aidan Nugent, Jarly Óg Burns

Galway: Connor Gleeson;  Johnny McGrath, Seán Fitzgerald, Jack Glynn; Dylan McHugh, Liam Silke, Seán Ó Maoilchiaráin; Paul Conroy, Seán Kelly; Matthew Tierney, John Maher Cillian McDaid; Rob Finnerty, Damien Comer, Shane Walsh
Subs: Conor Flaherty, John Daly, Eoghan Kelly, Daniel O’Flaherty, Kieran Molloy, Cathal Sweeney, Céin D’Arcy, Johnny Heaney, Liam Ó Conghaile, Tomo Culhane, Niall Daly
