Clonoe v St Eunan's (Sun)

AIB Ulster Club SFC: Clonoe v St Eunan's Venue: Coalisland Date: Sunday, 2 November Throw-in: 1430 GMT Coverage: Radio Ulster MW from 1415

Suspended pair Emmett Teague and Colm Doris will play for Clonoe in Sunday's AIB Ulster Club SFC clash against St Eunan's at Coalisland (1430 GMT).

Teague was handed a 32-week ban for his retaliatory headbutt on Dromore boss Noel McGinn while Doris got an eight-week ban from the Tyrone Board.

However, both apparently have been cleared to play, pending appeals against their suspensions.

The news will be a massive boost to the Tyrone club's chances of winning.

Clonoe will be in action for the fourth consecutive weekend in Sunday's game.

Victories over Carrickmore, Donaghmore and Dromore saw them win the Tyrone SFC title for the first time in 17 years.

St Eunan's have had more recovery time as they won the Donegal title on 5 October and they hope to end the county's poor record in the series.

Only Four Masters have won a game at provincial level since 1994.

St Eunan's are skippered by Brendan Devenney and their midfield pairing of John Haran and Kevin Rafferty is strong enough for them to play Rory Kavanagh at full-forward.

Clonoe lack big names but centre-back Damian Burke and captain Colm Donnelly have been involved with the Tyrone senior squad.

The venue for the fixture was switched from Omagh to Coalisland earlier this week.

Clonoe had requested that the game should be postponed but their plea was rejected by the Ulster Council.
