Derry opt for youth in training camp

Derry boss Mickey Moran has announced a training panel for the coming months which is constituted largely by young players from the Oak Leaf County.

Top players like Dermot Dougan, the Dohertys and Gavin Diamond are nowhere to be seen while, as expected, Anthony Tohill has been left out.

Moran says it is a pre-season panel and he is keeping an open mind. However, the inclusion of a spate of players from the minor winning side of 2002, including skipper Ger O'Kane, hints that he is looking to youth.
