Joe Kernan watches Ulster's semi-final victory over Leinster at Crossmaglen
|
Ulster manager Joe Kernan has delayed team selection for Sunday's M Donnelly Interprovincial football final against Munster at Ruislip. Four of Kernan's squad are involved in club matches on Saturday. Davy Harte and John Devine will be in action against Conor Gormley's Carrickmore in the Tyrone Division One final replay. Pascal McConnell will play for Newtonstewart in a rearranged Ulster Club JFC tie against Emyvale. All four, along with Errigal captain Enda McGinley, will board a late flight from Belfast to link up with their Ulster colleagues in London on Saturday night. McGinley misses the Tyrone league final through suspension, but is eligible to play for Ulster. Kernan's decision to defer selection would suggest that he is prepared to consider the players in club action for selection in his starting fifteen for the clash with Munster. "I want to wait and see how the players get on on Saturday," said Kernan. "Hopefully we'll have a clean bill of health, and I'll pick the team at the weekend," said Kernan. Ulster defeated Leinster by four points in the semi-finals last month. Munster manager Ger O'Sullivan includes two of Kerry's All-Ireland winning squad in his starting line-up. Padraig Reidy is named at left full-back while Seamus Scanlon will partner Cork's Nicholas Murphy in midfield.
Munster: P Fitzgerald (Tipperary), T O'Gorman (Waterford), J McCarthy (Limerick), P Reidy (Kerry), M O'Gorman (Waterford), M Shields (Cork), P Ranahan (Limerick), N Murphy (Cork), S Scanlon (Cork), P Kelly (Cork), P O'Neill (Cork), D O'Connor (Cork), G Hurney (Waterford), C O'Neill (Cork), L O Lionnain (Waterford) Ulster: tbc
