Termon's Jamie Grant has been named in the Donegal starting XV and thus earn a first ever league start, against Tyrone in Sunday, 2pm.

Paddy Carr's side head to Healy Park in Omagh with a spring in their step following their 0-13 to 1-9 win over Kerry in the opening round of the Allianz League Division 1 last Sunday, while Tyrone lost out in Roscommon 3-11 to 1-12.

Grant played against Down and Monaghan in the Dr Kenna Cup last month and had been named to start last weekend but was replaced by Marty O'Reilly before throw-in. Carr later said the Termon defender, who played for DCU in the Sigerson Cup on Tuesday against MTU Cork in a 2-12 to 0-9 quarter-final win, had been suffering with 'flu.

The other late change saw Shaun Patton start in goal in place of Gavin Mulreany and the St Eunan's netminder gets the nod again.
