CLONDUFF'S Arthur McConville could be the focal point of Down's attack tomorrow in what promises to be a packed Brewster Park.
The Hilltown man will make his Championship debut for the Mournemen as they take on Fermanagh in the Enniskillen cauldron.
He is the only newcomer in James McCartan's side which is without several big names including Benny Coulter but should still have enough firepower to deal with Fermanagh.
The Ernemen have injury woes of their own with captain Ryan McCluskey ruled out, but even in the absence of some stars, the Ulster Council is expecting ther biggest crowd of the season yet tomorrow.
12,847 filed through for the Kingspan Breffni Park turnstiles for the preliminary round meeting of the reigning Ulster champions Donegal and Cavan two weeks ago. It was the biggest crowd to attend an Ulster SFC preliminary round game since 2010 when Derry and Armagh drew an attendance of 10,242.
And last Sunday's attendance of 8,804 for the Monaghan v Antrim quarter-final in Clones was 2,000 more than expected.
"Between the first match in Cavan and last weekend's game at Clones, we're 70 per cent up on where we were at this stage in 2011," said Ulster Council president Aoghan Farrell.
"There has been a very positive response to our policy of U16s going free and to our ticket price reductions across the board, and we've had a lot of positive feedback from our spectators.
"We're expecting a very good crowd on Sunday, especially given that it's a Bank Holiday weekend and with the weather set to hold up as well. So we're looking forward to another bumper crowd for what should be another enthralling match in the Ulster championship series."
