Kevin McStay and his coaching staff have made four changes for tomorrow's evenings NFL clash in Omagh. One of them sees Rob Hennelly return between the posts and replace Colm Reape who had started every match this League campaign so far. 

Stephen Coen and Enda Hession are named to start as well, ahead of David McBrien and Eoghan McLaughlin. Ballinrobe’s Diarmuid Duffy comes in for Bob Tuohy at number 10. Diarmuid O’Connor and Jack Carney continue at midfield.

Upfront Aghamore’s Fergal Boland and Jordan Flynn are named in the half forward line. Regulars Aidan O’Shea and Ryan O’Donoghue will lead the inside line with Tommy Conroy who will captain the team on the day.
