Jim McGuinness greets Raymond Galligan prior to the side's league encounter last season
Cavan boss Raymond Galligan has named his starting XV ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland series clash with Donegal at Kingspan Breffni Park.
Following their opening-round victory over Mayo, the Breffni men are boosted by the return of key players James Smith and Gearóid McKiernan.
Paddy Lynch and Killian Clarke are also included in the matchday squad. Lynch, who recently returned from injury, made an impact off the bench last time out in McHale Park in a 1-17 to 1-14 win.
