The Armagh team to face Fermanagh in Sunday's Ulster SFC final at Clones shows two changes from that which defeated Down at the semi-final stage.

Aaron Kernan and Brian Mallon come into the side for Brendan Donaghy and Paddy McKeever but Oisin McConville is not named in the starting line-up.

Kernan didn't start the semi-final because of injury while Mallon is named after impressing as a sub against Down.

Fermanagh manager Malachy O'Rourke has named an unchanged line-up.

Barry Owens, who came off the bench to score a goal in the semi-final win over Derry, is again named a substitute while Glentoran midfielder Shane McCabe is also on the bench for the Ernemen.

Marty McGrath captains the side from midfield, Ryan McCluskey starts at his usual centre-half back berth and Liam McBarron starts at full-forward.

Erne boss O'Rourke had indicated that Owens, who is returning after heart surgery, would not be a starter for Fermanagh in the decider but may play a part in the game.

"He won't start - a fit Barry Owens would obviously be an automatic starter," said O'Rourke.

"I think it would be asking too much. He has only played a wee bit of club football.

"He played 15 minutes against Derry and hopefully he will be fit to play some more the next day.

"The day after the Derry game I was talking to him and even though he played only 15 minutes he was absolutely exhausted and very sore. It took an awful lot out of him."
