Scotstown v St Brigid’s (15:00 GMT)

As expected, the Scotstown team named in the programme has changes prior to throw-in.

Manager David McCague’s team had a fairly settled look about throughout their Ulster campaign and that remains the case.

One absentee from their victory over Kilcoo in the Ulster final comes in attack with Tommy Mallen losing his race with injury and must be content with a place on the bench as Nicky Sherlock comes in.

As for St Brigid’s, the Roscommon men make two changes from their Connacht title win over Moycullen in November.

Pearse Frost comes in for Ruairi Smith at corner-back, while at full-forward, Mark Daly replaces Senan Kilbride.

Wing-back was the hero of the hour against the Galway side, netting a late goal and he starts at wing-back, while Conor Hand leads the line following his seven-point haul in their provincial success.

Scotstown: Rory Beggan; Damien McArdle, Ryan O’Toole, Darragh Murray; Kieran Hughes, Darren Hughes, Donnchadh Connolly; Micheal McCarville, Gavin McPhillips; Max Maguire, Shane Carey, Francis Maguire; Mattie Maguire, Jack McCarron, Nicky Sherlock.

St Brigid’s: Conor Carroll; Pearse Frost, Sean Trundle, Robbie Dolan; Ruaidhri Fallon, Brian Stack, Paul McGrath; Shane Cunnane, Eddie Nolan; Ciaran Sugrue, Conor Hand, Bobby Nugent; Ben O’Carroll, Mark Daly, Brian Derwin.

Referee: Brendan Cawley (Kildare)
