Hello, and you're all very welcome to MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey for this round-robin clash between Donegal and Tyrone. These sides met a month ago in the Ulster semi-final in Celtic Park with Jim McGuinness's side prevailing on the day after extra-time on a scoreline of 0-18 to 0-16 points. 

Tyrone has had time to regroup and refocus, while Donegal on the other hand has been on cloud nine following their Ulster final victory over Armagh two weeks ago.

The Anglo Celt Cup has very much been put to one side as Donegal hopes to advance out of Group 3 in this All-Ireland series with three massive games against Tyrone, Cork, and Clare. 

Shaun Patton is the only change to the starting XV that day in Celtic Park, with the St Eunan’s man returning from injury to replace Gavin Muleany for the Ulster final.  

This will be the third meeting between Donegal and Tyrone this season, with Jim McGuinness's side overcoming Brian Dooher’s team on both occasions.  

This will be the sixth championship meeting between Donegal and Tyrone in MacCumhaill Park in the last 11 years with Donegal prevailing on three occasions. However, the last time these two sides met in Ballybofey in the championship was last season in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final, which Tyrone won on a scoreline of 1-18 to 0-13 points.

The team captain Patrick McBrearty makes his return to the starting XV in the corner-forward position, while Eoghan Bán Gallagher, who was not due to start today against Tyrone, maintains his place, coming in for Mark Curran at corner-back.

The teams are as follows:

Donegal team: Shaun Patton; Eoghan Bán Gallagher, Brendan McCole, Ciaran Moore; Ryan McHugh, Caolan McGonagle, Peadar Mogan; Jason McGee, Michael Langan; Shane O’Donnell, Ciarán Thompson, Daire Ó Baoill; Patrick McBrearty, Oisin Gallen, Niall O’Donnell. 

Tyrone team: Niall Morgan; Niall Devlin, Padraig Hampsey, Michael McKernan; Ben Cullen, Matthew Donnelly, Kieran McGeary; Brian Kennedy, Conn Kilpatrick; Ciaran Daly, Michael O’Neill, Sean O’Donnell; Darren McCurry, Darragh Canavan, Ruairí Canavan.
