NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE TEAM NEWS: THE GAA have reiterated that Sunday's Allianz National Football League refixture between Armagh and Dublin is an all-ticket game, and that these must be collected in advance of arrival at Crossmaglen.
Following the late postponement of the game last Sunday week, it was agreed there would be no charge for these tickets, 7,000 of which were distributed to the two participating counties (4,000 for Armagh, 3,000 for Dublin). These were then passed on to the clubs, although it's unclear if any will be returned to the county board for further redistribution.
A victory for Dublin would effectively secure their promotion from Division Two, while Armagh still have some relegation concerns. Dublin manager Paul Caffrey has announced two changes from the team originally selected, with Stephen O'Shaughnessy and Ger Brennan named at corner back and wing back respectively.
Both players featured in last Saturday's facile win over Roscommon, with just three other players - Ross McConnell, Bernard Brogan and Conal Keaney - surviving from that line-up. This means Dublin are closer to full strength, with the likes of Jason Sherlock, Mark Vaughan and Colin Moran named in the attack.
Due to the postponement of this game, the final round of games in Division Two were deferred until Sunday week - as were the final round of games in Division Three, with Down and Limerick also playing their refixture on Sunday.
Kerry go into their remaining Division One game against Galway needing to win by three or more points to be sure of making the final, although they could still qualify depending on the result of the Derry-Donegal game. Manager Pat O'Shea is taking no chances and named an impressive line-up, which includes a first league start for Mike Frank Russell, the return of Aidan O'Mahony at centre back. Declan O'Sullivan and Colm Gooch Cooper are named among the substitutes. O'Sullivan has just returned from minor knee surgery, while Cooper is just back from a two-month holiday in the US.
Galway manager Liam Sammon makes one notable change due to the loss of midfielder Joe Bergin. An Achilles tendon injury sustained in last Sunday's win over Mayo required an operation and Bergin is now facing a four-month period of rehabilitation.
Niall Coleman takes over his position for Sunday's game at Pearse Stadium in an otherwise unchanged team that secured the one-point win over Mayo.
Brian McGuigan will make his first start in more than two years when Tyrone take on Mayo in Sunday's Division One clash at Healy Park. McGuigan, a pivotal figure in Tyrone's two All-Ireland victories, has courageously battled his way back from career-threatening leg and eye injuries, and he will again don the familiar number 11 shirt.
