Canavan named in Tyrone line-up

Peter Canavan hopes to win a second All-Ireland medal

Peter Canavan has been named in the Tyrone team to face Kerry in Sunday's All-Ireland final at Croke Park.

Canavan will make just his fourth start in 10 championship games this summer when he plays at right corner forward.

He replaces midfielder Brian Meenan while Sean Cavanagh, who played at wing forward in the semi-final win over Armagh, reverts to the central area.

Ryan Mellon moves from the right corner of the attack to the left wing in an otherwise unchanged side.

Joe McMahon is once again preferred to Chris Lawn at full-back, while Mickey McGee gets the nod over Shane Sweeney in the left corner.

Enda McGinley was passed fit after recovering from a thigh injury as Tyrone seek to win the Sam Maguire for the second time in three years.

Meanwhile former captain Dara Ó Cinnéide has regained his place in the Kerry team for the crunch game.

O Cinneide, who lifted the Sam Maguire 12 months ago after the Kingdom's win over Mayo, had been dropped for the semi-final victory over Cork.

But the An Ghaeltacht clubman has won his place back at corner-forward at the expense of Brian Sheehan.

Ó Cinnéide's recall is the only change made by Jack O'Connor as Kerry aim for back-to-back triumphs.

Tyrone: P McConnell; R McMenamin, J McMahon, M McGee; D Harte, C Gormley, P Jordan; E McGinley, S Cavanagh; B Dooher, B McGuigan, R Mellon; P Canavan, S O'Neill, O Mulligan.

Kerry: D Murphy; M Ó Sé, M McCarthy, T O'Sullivan; T Ó Sé, S Moynihan, A O'Mahony; D Ó Sé, W Kirby, P Galvin, E Brosnan, L Hassett, C Cooper, D O'Sullivan (cpt), D Ó Cinnéide.
