Antrim v Wicklow
Date: 4 August
Venue: Croke Park
Throw-in: 1215
Updates:On the BBC NI website

Antrim have made two changes for Saturday's Tommy Murphy Cup final against Wicklow (1215 BST).

Justin Crozier and Michael McCann return to the team after missing the semi-final win over Clare because they were on holiday.

Conor McGoldrick and Mark Dougan both drop to the subs while the team also includes several positional switches.

Wicklow stand-in boss Arthur French has named an unchanged team for Saturday's decider at Croke Park.

The Garden County beat Waterford 2-15 to 0-14 in the semi-finals and French, who has been deputising for Mick O'Dwyer in recent weeks, has opted to select the same line-up.

In the Saffron side, Crozier will start in a half-back line which also includes Sean Kelly while McCann gets the full-forward jersey.

Antrim manager Jody Gormley insists that the decider is important to both counties despite his view that the GAA have done little to promote the second-tier competition.

"The GAA hasn't put much in the way of esteem or any real credit to this competition but the players of Wicklow and certainly Antrim are taking it very seriously," Gormley told BBC Sport.

"We have worked very hard since we were beaten by Derry in the Ulster Championship."

The 1215 BST throw-in means the early stages of the game is likely to be watched by a small crowd at headquarters although the attendance should swell as Sligo, Cork, Tyrone and Meath fans arrived in advance of the Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Football quarter-finals.


Antrim: S McGreevy, P Close, P Doherty, J Loughrey, S Kelly, E O'Neill, J Crozier, J Quinn, D Martin, A Gallagher, K Niblock, K Brady, C Close, M McCann, C McGourty. Subs: J Finucane, G Bell, S McVeigh, M Dougan, M Magill, C McGoldrick, M Rea, P Logan, B Hasson, L Carland, M Pollock, D O'Hagan, C Brady, T Convery, L Bonnes

Wicklow: Mervyn Travers, Brendan O'hAinnaidh, Damien Power, Alan Byrne, Paddy Dalton, Dara O'hAnnaidh, Leighton Glynn, James Stafford, Thomas Walsh, John McGrath, Don Jackman, Paul Earls, Tommy Gill, Tony Hannon, Derek Daly.
