Conway out of league final against Kerry

Derry midfielder James Conway has been ruled out of Sunday's National Football League final against Kerry.

The Ballinaderry clubman has developed blood-poisoning after getting a splinter in his knee in a work-related accident.

Joe Diver is set to take Conway's place in midfield.

All-star forward Enda Muldoon, meanwhile, is a major doubt for the Oak-Leafers due to a hip problem.

If he fails to recover in time, Paul Murphy could replace him in midfield.
