Tyrone make three changes

Tyrone have made three enforced changes for Sunday's Bank of Ireland Ulster Football Championship semi-final against Derry.

With full-backs Cormac McGinley, Chris Lawn and Paul McGurk all injured, Ciaran Gourlay, Colin Holmes and Michael McGee come into the Tyrone defence.

Holmes gets the full-back jersey while Gourlay and McGee will operate in the corners.

Otherwise, the Tyrone line-up is unchanged from the side which surprised holders Armagh in the first round although Gerard Cavlan and Eoin Mulligan do switch corner-forward berths.

Peter Canavan eased fears about his fitness by training with his Tyrone colleagues on Wednesday and is selected at full-forward.

There had been reports that he was troubled by an ankle injury.

Derry will announce their line-up on Thursday evening.

Meanwhile, Fermanagh's team for Saturday's All-Ireland qualifier against Donegal shows only one change from the team surprised by Monaghan at the weekend.

Mark O'Donnell replaces Andrew Moohan at right full-forward.

Neil Cox and Raymond Johnston are both selected in the defence after apparently having shaken off injuries.

The Kerry team to play Limerick on Sunday has two changes from the comfortable first round win over Tipperary.

Michael McCarthy replaces Barry O'Shea at right corner-back while Noel Kennelly takes over from Denis O'Dwyer at left half-forward.

Donal Daly has recovered from a finger injury and takes the number nine jersey.

Maurice Fitzgerald has recovered from a bout of illness, and starts at centre-forward.

Limerick will have three championship debutants.

Goalkeeper, Alan Kitson, corner-forward, Muiris Gavin and half-forward, Shane Kelly, are the newcomers.

Tommy Stack, Mark O'Riordan, Conor O'Mullane, Stephen Lucey, Jason Stokes, Pat Aherne and Colm Hickey all played on the team defeated by Tyrone in last year's All-Ireland U-21 decider.
