Rory Gallagher has been ratified as the new manager of the Derry senior football team.

CORK captain Graham Canty remain a fitness doubt for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC decider despite being last night named at centre-back in their starting 15, while fellow defender Eoin Cadogan has been handed his first senior intercounty football championship start by manager Conor Counihan.

Damian Cassidy has stepped down as Derry Senior Football manager, less that a fortnight after the Oak Leaf county side exited the GAA All-Ireland SFC, following an 11-point Round 3 qualifier defeat to Kildare.

Liam Bradley has left his post as selector to the Derry senior football team, due to other commitments.
