One enforced change for Derry

Derry manager Paddy Crozier has been forced to make one change to his side for Sunday's NFL Division 1 decider against Kerry at Parnell Park.

As expected, midfielder James Conway has failed to make a recovery in time for this weekend's final, following a work accident three weeks ago.

Although the Ballinderry clubman lined out for Derry in their 0-15 to 0-10 win over Donegal last Sunday week, he aggravated a cut in his knee in the Ballyshannon encounter.

Bellaghy's Joe Diver comes into the starting line-up and will partner his club colleague Fergal Doherty at midfield.

Ballinderry's Enda Muldoon has also been given the all clear following his recovery from a hip injury and is named at left half-forward.

Meanwhile, the sharpshooting Mark Lynch, who impressed with six points in UUJ's Sigerson Cup final win over Garda College on Tuesday, will also line out in the half-forward line.

DERRY (SFC v Kerry): B Gillis; K McGuckin, K McCloy, F McEldowney; L Hinphey, G O'Kane, M McIver; F Doherty, J Diver; M Lynch, B McGoldrick, E Muldoon; C Gilligan, P Bradley, E Bradley.
