Fermanagh have named an unchanged team from that which beat Monaghan in the preliminary round for Sunday's Ulster championship visit to Ballybofey. Tom Brewster returns to the panel after injury but due to lack of match-fitness is kept in reserve. Paul Maguire also returns to the panel after exam commitments. Kevin Cassidy and Shane Wilson make way for both.

In an experienced line-up, only goalkeeper Dermot Feeley and right corner back Barry Carty are playing their first championship with the county.

Fermanagh (SF v Donegal) - D Feeley; B Carty, P Courtney, P McGuinness; T Callaghan (capt.), T Collins, J Gilheaney; P Brewster, L McBarron; K Donnelly, Rory Gallagher, R Johnson; Raymond Gallagher, S Maguire, S King. Subs: P Maguire, M Lilley, P Quinn, N Cox, C Courtney, M Greene, T Brewster, S McDermott, C Bradley.

Sligo SF

Brendan Phillips and Michael Langan make their championship debuts at left corner back and centre back respectively on the Sligo team to play Mayo in the Connacht football championship at Markievicz Park on Sunday.

A number of key players, including forward Tommy Brennan, midfielder Con O'Meara and full back Nigel Clancy are ruled out through injury. Sligo will be trying to end a frustrating sequence of results. They came within a point of drawing with Mayo in the Connacht final three years ago, took Roscommon to a replay in 1998 and Galway, the then All-Ireland champions, to a replay 12 months ago. The team also lost out to Meath by .01 of a point in scoring average for a place in the National League quarter-finals.

Sligo (SF v Mayo): P Walsh; M Cosgrove, N McGuire, B Phillips; R Keane, M Langan, D Durkin; A O'Hara, P Durcan; S Davey, P Taylor, B Walsh; J McPartland, K Killeen, G McGowan.
