Ulster Senior Football Championship Preliminary Round

Donegal v Cavan, Ballybofey, 4pm

Donegal delivered some decent displays in Division One of the Allianz Football League, but still suffered relegation.

Cavan enjoyed a promotion winning spring which was a real pre Championship boost for Mattie McGleenan, who is finding a nice blend of youth and experience.

Retirements have hit Donegal hard in recent years too so Declan Bonner is stitching a new look team together.

That is why this match matters deeply to Donegal, whose last Championship encounter was the demoralising loss to Galway at Markievicz Park last July.

CAVAN: Raymond Galligan; Jason McLoughlin, Padraig Faulkner, Niall Murray; Martin Reilly, Ciaran Brady, Conor Moynagh; Killian Clarke, Bryan Magee; Cian Mackey, Oisin Kiernan, Enda Flanagan; Caoimhin Reilly, Gearoid McKiernan, Conor Bradley.
