 Down boss Jimmy O'Reilly includes three newcomers |
Down hurling manager Jimmy O'Reilly has selected three newcomers for Sunday's opening Allianz National Hurling League Division 2A game against Antrim at Portaferry.
Ballygalget trio Emmett Dorrian, Gareth Johnson and Stephen Clarke will line out in a match which will be a repeat of last year's Ulster Final which Antrim won.
With Tom Coulter and Paddy Coulter not match fit, Dorrian comes in a left half-back while Johnson is drafted into the half-forward line.
Paddy Monan's retirement means that Barry Milligan will partner Gerard Adair at midfield with Stephen Clarke operating at top of the the left.
Down SH: G Clarke, L Clarke, S Murray, E Dorrian, G Clarke, G Savage, S Wilson, G Adair, B Milligan, G Johnson, P Braniff, E Trainor, M Coulter, G McGrattan, S Clarke. Subs: R Murray, M Pucci, E Clarke, A Dynes, T Coulter, P Coulter, G Dynes, M Braniff, J Hughes, J Doherty, T McMahon, F Murray, D McCusker.
