Lockhart returns to action for Derry

Former AllStar Sean Marty Lockhart is back in action for Derry and has been named at corner-back to face Tipperary in Sunday's NFL 2B clash.

Lockhart smashed his arm in a painful collision with Donegal's Brendan Devenney in last summer's Ulster semi-final and hasn't played since.

His return is a great boost to new boss Mickey Moran who also replaces Geoffrey McGonigle with Jim Kelly at corner-forward.

Derry (SF v Tipperary): S McGuckian; SM Lockhart, K McCloy, K Doherty; P O'Kane, P McFlynn, G Doherty; E Muldoon, F Doherty; F Glackin, R Rocks, D Conway; P Bradley, D Dougan, J Kelly.
