As expected Thomas Mallon returns to the No. 1 shirt following injury but Callum Mullan-Young’s departure from the panel means goalkeeping coach Michael Conlan - who was a surprise starter in the first round - is named on the bench.

Chrissy McKaigue is back from suspension and comes in for the unfortunate Neil Forester who was excellent in the first round victory over the ‘Wee County’.
