Cavan boss Mickey Graham has handed out two debuts for his first championship game in charge of his native county.

Newcomers Conor Rehill (left half-back) and Conor Brady (midfield) will make their Ulster SFC bows against neighbours Monaghan (throw-in 7pm). 

There's also a first championship start for Thomas Galligan at full-forward, alongside Oisin Kiernan who returns just eight months after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.

With key midfielder Gearoid McKieran another to come back into the starting 15, Graham has a fully fit squad to choose from for the Kingspan Breffni fixture.

Cavan (Ulster SFC v Monaghan): Raymond Galligan; Jason McLoughlin, Padraig Faulkner, Conor Moynagh; Gerard Smith, Killian Clarke, Conor Rehill; Conor Brady, Gearoid McKiernan; Martin Reilly, Dara McVeety, Niall Murray; Oisin Kiernan, Thomas Galligan, Conor Madden.
