Team news: 3-in-a-row chasing Donegal to face Tyrone in Kingspan Breffni double-header

TG4 Ulster Senior Championship – Preliminary Round – Saturday June 8

Donegal v Tyrone; Kingspan Breffni, 2.45pm

DONEGAL, one of the leading contenders for the TG4 All-Ireland Senior title, get their campaign underway on Saturday.
The Ulster Champions, who are aiming for a third successive provincial crown, were going great guns in the early stages of the Lidl National League, before losing out to Galway in the Division 1 semi-finals.
Donegal’s impressive early season form included an opening day League victory over Dublin at Croke Park and they’ll hope to rekindle some of that old sparkle as their 2019 Championship bow looms.
Donegal have made three changes to the side beaten by Galway in the Lidl NFL Division 1 semi-final for their championship opener against Tyrone.
This game is part of an attractive double-header at Kingspan Breffni, alongside the male teams from both counties.
Donegal’s last competitive outing was defeat to Galway on April 20 and manager Maxi Curran has retained 12 of the team that started on that occasion.
TG4 All Star Treasa Doherty, Roisin Rogers and Kate Keeney come into the team for the meeting with the Red Hands, in place of with Niamh Boyle, Megan Ryan and Elaine Melaugh.
Tyrone, meanwhile, have nine of the team that lined out in the 2018 TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Final victory over Meath starting against Donegal, as they prepare for a return to the senior ranks.
Tyrone missed out on a semi-final slot in Division 2 of the Lidl National League but Gerry Moane and his players will have targeted Championship from a long way out.
