As expected Ben McKinless starts in the No. 1 jersey with Niall Keenan named alongside Slaughtneil duo Brendan Rogers and Karl McKaigue in the full-back line.

Carlus McWilliams has been one of the county's most consistent performers this season and will likely be deployed in the sweeping role he has made his own as his makes his Ulster bow against the Red Hands.
