Three changes for Derry footballers

Derry boss Mickey Moran has opted for a physical presence by naming big Geoffrey McGonigle at full-forward to face Dublin in the All-Ireland qualifiying series on Saturday.

In all the Derry management team have made three changes from the side that defeated Wexford in the first round.

McGonigle, Darren Crozier and Johnny McBride all impressed as substitutes against Wexford and have been rewarded with starting berths in a rejigged lineup.

Derry (SF v Dublin): M Conlon; K McGuckin, N McCusker, SM Lockhart; G Doherty, P McFlynn, D Crozier; A Tohill, F Doherty; M Harney, D Dougan, J McBride; P Bradley, G McGonigle, E Muldoon.
