Antrim has no injury worries ahead of Cavan game

Antrim GAA boss Mickey Culbert has named his strongest team for the Bank of Ireland Ulster SFC quarter-final against Cavan at Breffni Park on Sunday.

Culbert has no injury worries - in complete contrast to the Breffni men - with midfielder Joe Quinn skippering the side from midfield, where Portglenone clubman Martin McCarry will also play.

St Gall's are strongly represented: Colin Brady and Andrew McClean form two-thirds of the full back line, while Sean Kelly will start at seven and Terry O'Neill on the same wing in the half forward line.

St Paul's goalkeeper Paddy Murray is the last line of defence, while Damien Gault, Tony Scullion and Gearoid Adams are the other defenders. In the full forward line, Kevin Brady, Michael McCann and Kevin Madden will be relied upon to trouble the Breffni defence and keep the scoreboard man busy.

Brendan Herron of Lamh Dhearg leads the attack at number 11.

Antrim - P. Murray; C. Brady, A. McClean, D. Gault; T. Scullion, G. Adams, S. Kelly; J. Quinn, M. McCarry; C. Close, B. Herron, T. O'Neill; K. Brady, M. McCann, K. Madden.
