Good news for Derry ahead of Sunday’s Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter final with Down
Fergal Doherty has been passed fit and has been included in the Derry midfield for the Cetlic Park tie.
Brendan Rogers and Chrissy McKaigue are also included in what look’s a strong and experienced Derry line up
Eoin Bradley is included in attack, as is captain Mark Lynch – but he’s likely to drop back into midfield
The Down team could be named later this evening.
Derry were relegated from Division1 but Captain Mark Lynch says positives did come out of the league and he’s hoping the Oak Leaf boys have a long summer………
