Armagh vs Monaghan team news as Kieran McGeeney names unchanged 15 while Farney suffer injury blow ahead of Ulster final

Armagh had 28 points to spare over Down in the Ulster semi-final while Monaghan have lost one of their starting players from the extra-time win over Derry

Kieran McGeeney has, unsurprisingly, named an unchanged starting 15 for Sunday’s Ulster final clash with Monaghan on Sunday.

The Orchard County turned in a devastating when they defeated Down by 28 points in Clones a fortnight ago.

Blaine Hughes retains the goalkeeping jersey ahead of Ethan Rafferty while Ross McQuillan is named in the match-day panel after missing the Down game with a calf strain.

All-Ireland winning captain Aidan Forker is also among the substitutes after tearing his calf ahead of the preliminary round win over Tyrone last month.

Meanwhile, Monaghan have suffered a blow on the eve of the Ulster final with midfielder Louis Kelly ruled out with an Achilles injury.

Monaghan came through a rollercoaster semi-final against Derry with Jack McCarron’s stunning late two-point sideline forcing extra-time before Rory Beggan sealed the win with the final kick of the game.

Darragh McElearney, who was listed to start against Derry comes in to the team with Karl Gallagher moving to midfield.

Gary Mohan and Ryan Wylie have also been added to the match-day squad as has U20 star Max Maguire.
