McMenamin returns to face Dubs

Saturday's quarter-final clash in the Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championship between Tyrone and Dublin will revive memories of the meeting in 1995 when the Dubs Charlie Redmond was sent-off in an incident-packed match.

The only survivor of that tie, in which Tyrone thought they had levelled the match, but had the crucial point disallowed due to an illegal pick-up, is veteran Peter Canavan who held in reserve will not start the match.

The one change in Micky Harte's selection of the starting Tyrone line-up for Saturday is the return of Ryan McMenamin who wins back his right corner-back spot following the successful appeal against a four-week suspension.

A lingering doubt over Dubs captain Paddy Christie who was injured in the Leinster final against Laois has been dispelled and he will start at full-back, leaving the Dubs line-up unchanged for the tie at Croke Park on Saturday.
  • Tyrone: P. McConnell; R. McMenamin, C. Lawn, S. Sweeney; D. Harte, G. Devlin, P. Jordan; C. Gormley, S. Cavanagh; B. Dooher, B. McGuigan, O. Mulligan; R. Mellon, S. O'Neill, E .McGinley.
  • Dublin: S. Cluxton; P. Griffin, P. Christie, S. O’Shaughnessy; P. Casey, B. Cahill, C. Goggins; C. Whelan, S. Ryan; C. Moran, A. Brogan, B. Cullen; J. Sherlock, C. Keaney, T. Quinn.
