TYRONE MANAGER MICKEY HARTE has made two changes from the side that beat Monaghan earlier this month as the Ulster men prepares to face Mayo in the All-Ireland football semi finals this Sunday.
With Martin Penrose suspend, Harte has, somewhat surprisingly, given his place in the full forward line to Clonoe’s Connor McAliskey.
Many had expected either Ronan O’Neill or Ronan McNabb to come in for the suspended Penrose, however neither make the panel for Sunday’s game.
The only other change sees the experienced Dermot Carlin, one of only five players left on the Tyrone panel from their 2003 All-Ireland success, replaced by Ryan McKenna at corner back.
Earlier today, Mayo named an unchanged side from the one which so convincingly beat Donegal in the quarter finals.
