McIver gets Derry job

Brian McIver was last night appointed as Derry manager.

Succeeding John Brennan, the Ardboe native and former Donegal man takes over with ex-county boss Paddy Crozier and former Tyrone trainer Paddy Tally as his selectors.

McIver previously led Ballinderry to an All-Ireland SFC title as well as a National League crown with Donegal. He was involved in James McCartan's backroom team in 2010 when they reached an All-Ireland final against Cork.
