Tyrone and Monaghan have named their starting teams for Sunday's Ulster semi-final clash.  Conan Grugan comes into the Tyrone midfield in place of the injured Conor Clarke while Martin Penrose and Stephen O'Neill join the attack in place of Emmet McKenna and Kyle Coney. Grugan will be making his senior championship debut. Monaghan manager Malachy O'Rourke has made several changes from the side that started the Division 2 League final win over Donegal, with Jack McCarron called into the side to replace injured team-captain Conor McManus.  The only change to the defence is a positional switch with Vinny Corey starting at cenre-back while Fintan Kelly drops into corner-back.  Dick Clerkin replaces Owen Lennon as the midfield partner to Darren Hughes.  As well as the introduction of McCarron to the attack, Padraig Donaghy starts at centre-forward in place of Stephen Gollogly.

The Dublin hurlers have been able to include Liam Rushe in their side for Saturday's Leinster semi-final clash with Wexford. Rushe was an injury concern for the reigning Leinster champions but he's been selected to line-out at centre-back. Alan Nolan deputises for the injured Gary Maguire in goal while Shane Durkin has also shaken-off his injury problems to join Rushe in the half-back line. Alan McCrabbe, who returned to the Dublin panel this year, will play at right half-forward with debutant Colm Croinin on the other wing.Cork manager Jimmy Barry Murphy has named an unchanged team for Sunday’s Munster semi-final clash with All Ireland champions Clare. It means that dual stars Damien Cahalane and Aidan Walsh have retained their places at full-back and in midfield respectively. The likes of Eoin Cadogan, Paudie O’Sullivan and Willian Egan have all been held in reserve on the bench
