Two changes to Leitrim starting line-up as Gilheaney named on bench but Dolan misses out
Tailteann Cup: Leitrim Gaels' Jack Flynn and Fenagh St Caillins Riordan O'Rourke come into starting line-up to face Wicklow in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Saturday
Andy Moran has made two changes to his Leitrim team to take on Wicklow in Saturday’s Tailteann Cup preliminary quarter-final with Jack Flynn and Riordan O’Rourke named to the starting line-up for the game in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park (7pm throw-in).
The Leitrim Gaels and Fenagh St Caillins clubmen replace Melvin Gaels’ Kieran Clancy and St Mary’s Kiltoghert’s Ben Guckian who started against Kildare last weekend at the same venue.
Fenagh St Caillin’s Jack Gilheaney is named in the subs and may start, subject to fitness, but there is no place in the 26 strong squad for Aughawillan’s Pearce Dolan who missed last week’s game due to injury.
Mark Jackson is named in goal for Wicklow after the keeper tried his luck at the NFL Combine earlier this year, setting a record for the longest field goal attempt.
