GAA teams: Turbitt and Sludden return for Omagh showdown

Conor Turbitt returs to the Armagh starting line-up for their latest collision with neighbours Tyrone in Healy Park this weekend.

Kieran McGeeney has made two changes to the side which laboured past Westmeath in the opening round, with Turbitt, who forced home the late goal which rescued the win for the hosts, and half back Callum Cumiskey coming into the side. Aidan Nugent and James Morgan make way.

For Tyrone, Frank Burns is sidelined due to the straight red card picked up in the three-point loss to Galway. The experienced Niall Sludden returns to the half-forward line, while Conor Meyler and Michael O'Neill trade places in the named line-up, the former shifting up to wing-forward, the latter named at No. 6.

Fergal Logan and Brian Dooher's side have lost their last four championship matches, an early-round Ulster championship win over Fermanagh their only triumph since claiming the 2021 All-Ireland title.

Tyrone: Niall Morgan; Michael McKernan, Ronan McNamee, Padraig Hampsey; Cormac Quinn, Michael O'Neill, Peter Harte; Brian Kennedy, Conn Kilpatrick; Conor Meyler, Joe Oguz, Niall Sludden; Darren McCurry, Mattie Donnelly, Darragh Canavan.

Armagh: Ethan Rafferty; Conor O'Neill, Aaron McKay, Aidan Forker; Greg McCabe, Callum Cumiskey, Jarly Óg Burns; Ben Crealey, Ciaran Mackin; Jason Duffy, Rory Grugan, Stefan Campbell; Conor Turbitt, Rian O'Neill, Andrew Murnin.

Cian Murphy, initially named to start against Roscommon, is the only change to the Dublin side which struggled to an unimpressive draw with the Connacht outfit last time out.

The Thomas Davis defender was introduced after nine minutes for an injured Davey Byrne and retains his place for their away fixture against Kildare in UPMC Nowlan Park.
