Donegal
boss name team to face Down - 25/07/03 2003
All-Ireland Qualifer
Down
v Donegal 
@ 4.15 p.m. Clones, Sat 26th July 2003
Donegal football manager Brian McEniff has announced his team to meet Down on
Saturday in the All Ireland Qualifer at Clones. As expected McEniff has altered
his attack as well as making an enforced change to their defence. Last year's
captain Mark Crossan makes his championship comeback in place of injured corner-back
Damien Diver, while Christy Toye replaces Johnny McCafferty in a re-shaped forward
line. Crossan makes his first competitive appearance for
his county since injuring his knee badly in last season's Ulster final against
Armagh. The 32-year-old is named at left corner-back, but may move to a more familiar
full-back role. If so, Ray Sweeney would be expected to go into the corner. Down
will not name their team until before the match as they wait on the result from
Gergory McCartans second appeal which is being heard tonight in Croke Park. Donegal
(All-Ireland SFC qualifier v Down): T Blake; N McCready, R Sweeney, M Crossan;
S Carr, B Monaghan, K Cassidy; J Gildea, S McDermott; C Toye, M Hegarty, J McGuinness;
B Roper, A Sweeney (capt.), B Devenney. Subs: S Sweeney, C McFadden, M Gurn, J
McCafferty, B Boyle, J Haran, K Rafferty, B McLaughlin, D McNamara, P McGonigle,
E Reddin, J Ruane, N McGinley, D Diver.
